2018 Quivet "Kenefick Ranch" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

“From a mix of clones 7 and Rubicon, the 150-case 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Kenefick Ranch Vineyard sports a deep purple hue as well as a great bouquet of smoky black fruits, tobacco, chocolate, and gravelly earth. This rich, full-bodied beauty has building tannins, gorgeous purity of fruit, and a great finish. It's incredibly young but just loaded with potential.” (08/2020)

“The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Kenefick Ranch Vineyard captures all the intensity of this Calistoga site. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, licorice, spice, menthol and scorched earth build as this potent, beautifully layered, super-ripe Cabernet shows off its bold, racy personality. There is plenty to like here. (AG)” (01/2021)

“Very vivid, with melted licorice, warm fruitcake, cassis and plum puree notes stitched together seamlessly, ending with a flash of violet on the fruit-laden finish. A late echo of apple wood and sassafras keeps this nicely grounded. (JM)” (06/2021)
