2018 Pride Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, California, USA (750ml) Langhe DOC lemon blossoms and wet stoneTASTING NOTES: Looking at the base Cabernet, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon comes 70% from Napa and 30% from Sonoma. A wonderful nose of blackcurrants, black cherries, bouquet garni, baking spices, and dried tobacco gives way to a medium bodied, elegant, beautifully balanced Cabernet that's very much in the balanced, fresh, classical style of the vintage. It's ideal for drinking over the coming 10 12 years, and it will probably last even longer. Jeb
