2018 Gandona Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

The 2018 Gandona is superb. Inky dark fruit, gravel, spice, chocolate, menthol, and licorice infuse the 2018 with striking layers of complexity, all with firm mountain tannins that give the wine shape, energy, and drive.

Inky Dark fruit, gravel, spice, chocolate, menthol and licorice infurse the 2018 with striking layers of complexity, all with firm mountain tannins that give the wien shape, energe and drive. The 2018 is a real powerhouse. I can't remember tasting a wine from this property with so much sturcture and tannin. Readers should plan on giving the 2018 plenty of air. I found the 2018 really blossomed a number of hours after opening.
