is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Crafted from the high-altitude vineyards of Mount Eden in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate offers a distinctive expression of this iconic California terroir. Known for its cool climate and rocky, well-drained soils, Mount Eden produces wines with both power and finesse, showcasing the potential of the region’s exceptional growing conditions.
The 2018 vintage opens with aromas of dark berries—blackberry, cassis—and subtle hints of tobacco and dried herbs. On the palate, it’s full-bodied with firm, well-integrated tannins that provide structure and depth, while the wine’s vibrant acidity ensures balance and freshness. The finish is long, with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, and a touch of earthiness, reflecting the unique terroir of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with grilled steaks, roasted lamb, or rich, aged cheeses. While it’s ready to enjoy now, its structure suggests it will evolve beautifully over the next decade or more, making it an excellent choice for collectors and those who appreciate a complex, age-worthy wine. Mount Eden Vineyards’ 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a stunning example of the power and elegance that the Santa Cruz Mountains are capable of producing.
