Revana Terroir Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Napa Valley, California, United StatesFrom a mix of sites in Napa Valley, including the Revana Estate Vineyard in St. Helena, this is 77% cabernet sauvignon (clones 7 and 337), 18% merlot (clone 6), 4% cabernet franc (clone 1), and 1% petit verdot (clone 2). This was native fermented in small lots, and aged 20 months in French oak (75% new), bottled unfined and unfiltered, and aged for one year in bottle prior to release. Plush and ripe, with black plum, blackberry, dark cherry, pipe tobacco, dark earth drawn across a textural palate. Tannins are chewy and dense. This is quite reserved at present, and will reward with airtime and / or cellaring.Tasted: 23 September 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $164.95 | 750ml | consignment |
