Etude Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2018 750ML - (Pre-arrival)

James Suckling: 96

"Loads of blackberry, currant and dark-berry aromas follow through to a full body with chewy tannins and a long, fine finish. This is very attractive, balanced and delicious now, but will gain from two or three years of cellaring. Try after 2024."

Jeb Dunnuck: 94

"The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is up-front and approachable, with lush blackberry and cassis fruit as well as tobacco and some graphite notes. Playing in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum on the palate, it has velvety yet certainly present tannins, plenty of baby fat, terrific overall balance, and a great finish. Displaying more floral and violet notes with time in the glass, I suspect this beautiful, elegant 2018 will have two decades of longevity."

Wine Advocate: 93

"Etude's blended 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley skews toward bench-land vineyards from Rutherford and further south (Oakville, Coombsville). The nose features a gently lifted quality, blackberries and cassis underscored by dark chocolate. Full-bodied and sturdy, framed by firm tannins, this is not a wimpy, generic blend but a rich wine with some aging potential, finishing velvety and long."
