2018 O'Shaughnessy Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

"This is such an outstanding wine at any price, but here we're talking about outstanding value as well. Notes of iron and crushed rock lead to a lengthy balance of juicy red fruit and clove. With small amounts of Merlot, Malbec, Saint-Macaire and Cabernet Franc, it shows a deft hand at blending, with lasting notes of black pepper and nuanced oak." - Virginie Boone Review Date: September 2021

"This has aromas of dried blueberries, currants, chocolate, sandalwood and black tea. It's full-bodied with firm, tight-grained tannins. Rich in flavor with a saline edge on the finish. Try from 2022." Review Date: January 2021

"The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is a fabulous wine that overdelivers big time. Inky dark fruit, graphite, lavender, spice, menthol and licorice give the 2018 its distinctly savory, soil-driven personality. Time in the glass brings out attractive floral overtones. The tannins need time to soften, but there is a lot to look forward to. This is a very serious, polished wine. O'Shaughnessy's Napa Valley Cabernet remains one of the hidden jewels in Napa Valley." - Antonio Galloni, Review Date: January 2021
