There’s an amazing energy and vibrancy encapsulated within the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Galitzine Vineyard that lights up the senses. Its bouquet is pure class, feminine yet impactful, showing crushed raspberry dusted in cocoa and sweet spices complemented by shaved cedar. It’s silky and refined yet racy in style, with depths of dark red fruit and mineral underpinnings accelerated by vibrant acidity and hints of sour citrus. This leaves dusty tannins adding youthful poise without taking away from the pleasure and immediacy of the experience. Tobacco and a bitter balsamic twang punctuate the finale. It will be difficult for collectors to keep their hands off of this rendition of Galitzine, yet patience really is advised, as the balance here is nearly flawless.
