Medium to full-bodied, rich, and mouth-filling, it shows the purity and precision of this great vintage. J.G.'ĩ3 Points - Jeb Dunnuk - ' The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon M-Bar Ranch is a beautiful Oakville 2018 that has lots of dark, chocolaty fruits as well as notes of truffly earth, leather, and leafy herbs. Mint, dark chocolate, cinnamon and black-cherry syrup scents lead to rich, dark, saturated fruits on a firm base of fine-grained tannins. M-Bar Ranch was recently replanted and Gustavo was lucky enough to make the first wine from the new young vines, but this is the only vintage we were able to produce.ĩ6 Points - Wine Enthusiast - CELLAR SELECTION - ' Intricate aromas, bold flavors and a lush texture add up to greatness in this wellconcentrated, complex and age-worthy wine. This 'neighborhood' of esteemed sites also includes Harlan Estate, Promontory and Beckstoffer-Missouri Hopper to name a few. This prestigious site sits at the base of the Mayacamas mountain range on the venerable Oakville bench adjacent to the southern border of Vine Hill Ranch.
Aromas of blackberry compote, plum, black tea leaf and fennel delight the nose, while blackberries, dark cherries and cassis follow on the palate.
