Natalie's Score: 96/100

From Duckhorn, Howell Mountain 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon has a splash of Merlot (8%) added to it. Fresh with dark plum, black currant, olive, cola and minerally flavours on the palate, the wine is medium-plus-bodied with velvety ripe tannins. So good now, but can easily cellar for a few more years. Drink through 2033.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: roast beef dinner, hard cheeses, roast chicken.
