Notes "2018 A brand new cuvée, the North Coast Cabernet come from 3 cool climate coastal sites, bottled to capture the energy and freshness of its youth. A juicy core of pure, joyous cherry fruit is balanced with mild herbal notes and a gentle stony texture. This wine is vibrant and alive and does not need to be cellared to enjoy, please drink in the presence of laughter." -John Lockwood
