2017-2018 Quivet "Pellet Vineyard" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Vertical

“Another wine from St. Helena, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Pellet Vineyard has a more old school, medium to full-bodied style that carries ample gamey blue fruits, olive tapenade, and earthy, spicy notes.” (01/2020)

“A wine of total allure, Quivet's 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Pellet Vineyard is rich and racy to the core. Super-ripe red cherry, red plum, chocolate, licorice and wild flowers all race out of the glass in a bold St. Helena Cabernet that captures all the best 2017 has to offer. Ripe, inky and jammy, the 2017 is not at all subtle, but it sure is delicious. (AG)” (01/2020)

“Vivid and intense, with a racy hint to the juicy and muscular waves of cassis, plum and black cherry fruit that pump through, while licorice snap, violet and apple wood create a nice backdrop. This has the energy to match its obvious heft. (JM)” (06/2021)

“The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Pellet Vineyard is more open and complex, with beautiful red plums, flowery incense, and Asian spice. There are 75 cases produced (all Clone 4). Medium to full-bodied, with a floral, spicy, complex character, ripe tannins, and a great finish, it doesn't have the depth of the Kenefick Ranch, but it’s supple, elegant, and will evolve for 10-15 years.” (08/2020)

“Soft and easygoing, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Pellet Vineyard offers plenty of near and medium-term appeal. Sweet dark cherry, rose petal, dried flowers, cinnamon and cedar all wrap around the palate. Silky tannins and a whole range of floral accents add quite a bit of allure. (AG)” (01/2021)
