RARECAT Cabernet 2018
In Stock
Our 2018 RARECAT Cabernet is a 100% cab blended from four vineyards - Diamond Mountain, Coombsville, Atlas Peak, and the Hall Vineyard in St Helena. The nose is intense and powerful with black berry, blue berry, white pepper, floral, leather and pumpkin pie spices. The entry is smooth, velvety, layered complemented by the black fruit and a touch of chocolate at the finish. Our 2018 RARECAT Cabernet Sauvignon has lots of fruit with plush, integrated tannins that make this easy and approachable even at a young stage in its life.
