Levy & McClellan Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Reserve 2018

It doesn’t get any better than the 2018 Levy & McClellan Reserve, a majestic beauty well on the way to perfection. An utterly vivid, breathtaking wine, this vintage is built like a thoroughbred with immaculate balance and overall sense of harmony that may be savored tonight (decanting recommended prior to 2025) or anytime over the next decade. The opaque purple/onyx color is followed by intense, soaring aromas of crème de cassis, in addition to blueberry and blackberry fruit. Representing the essence of cassis liqueur intermixed with blackberries, vanillin, exotic spices, and hints of cocoa, this Cabernet is cashmere-like in quality and texture. The mesmerizing finish includes hints of Cohibo cigars as well as Toblerone that dazzles the palate with finesse for a full minute. Wow!
