Gilbert Cellars Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

A dense nose of black fruit, cassis, baking spices and roses, as well as notes of fennel in the background. Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Good depth and intensity. Rich but balanced. Wet-stone finish.

Great vintage, great region, great big bowlful of black cherry Horse Heaven Hills goodness. The style at Gilbert has shifted over the years. What began as massive, burly, tannic beasts has evolved toward more youthfully approachable food wines.
