A tiny production release, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Thomas Collection is all varietal that spent 22 months in barrel before bottling, and is held back in bottle before release. Its saturated plum/purple hue is followed by a terrific nose of smoky black fruits, chocolatey oak, iron, and leafy herbs which turns slightly more floral and exotic with time in the glass. It’s rich, full-bodied, has beautiful mid-palate depth, and nicely integrated tannins and acidity. It’s a big, rich, powerful wine that will benefit from another 2-3 years of bottle age and I suspect evolve for 15 years.
