Woodward Canyon Cabernet Sauvignon Artist Series 2018
Product description
This beautiful dark red-purple wine shows a complex nose of spiced black fruits, herbs, and lead pencil, that integrate beautifully with the subtle attractive oak. In the mouth, the wine is rich and elegant, showing ripe fruit, nice balance, and proportion, with herbs, and tobacco. Integrated tannins enhance the texture; the finish is complex, generous, and long. While this wine can be enjoyed now it will benefit greatly from additional cellaring and, with proper storage, should develop for ten years or more.
80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, 3% Syrah
94+ Points - Jeb Dunnuck
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Artist Series is a gem and well worth seeking out. Based on 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Syrah, brought up in 28% new oak, it offers an outstanding nose of blackcurrants, toasted spice, chocolate, and bouquet garni. Concentrated, firm and structured, with medium to full-bodied richness, it's another age-worthy wine in the lineup that needs to be forgotten for 3-5 years.
92 Points - James Suckling
A fragrant nose of blackcurrants, pine, rosemary, incense and sandalwood. It's medium-to-full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Structured and polished with a fresh finish. Drink from 2022.
