2019 Erikson & Caradin - Ivy & Thistle

Cabernet Sauvignon

92 Points - James Suckling
Aromas of sliced plum, redcurrant and dark chocolate. Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Bright acidity and juicy, ripe red fruit and berries. Nutmeg comes through.

A blockbuster! Intense aromas of black fruit, plums, mushroom and cedar follow through to a full-bodied palate, with big velvety tannins and an ultrarich aftertaste. Complex yet approachable with the depth and concentration to age beautifully.

Fermented in concrete but aged in 60% New French Oak and 40% 2nd use barrels to allow the velveteen tannins and striking fruit spice to be front and center. Here, we land in a sweet spot, soft and developed with a dynamic and edgy profile. Vineyards: 60% Atlas Peak / 40% Oakville.
