Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 The Thomas Collection Cabernet Sauvignon needs a swirl or two to coax out compelling scents of creme de cassis, blackberry preserves, and black raspberries followed by hints of cedar chest, graphite, and Indian spices. The fullbodied palate is jam packed with black fruit preserves and earthy layers, supported by firm, fine-grained tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing long and spicy.
