2018 Louis M. Martini Cabernet Sauvignon

A slightly high-toned red with walnut, berry, chocolate and spice on the nose and palate. Medium-to full-bodied with chewy tannins and a rich finish. A little firmer and tighter than in the past, which equates to a more serious red. A touch of petit sirah in this. Drink or hold. (06/2021)

The appellation 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is medium to full-bodied and balanced, with classic red and black fruits, spicy oak, and some violet notes. It’s well-made and enjoyable. (05/2022)
