Ramey Pedregal Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville, USA 2018 1.5L

Description

From the rocky hillside vineyards of Napa Valley’s prestigious Oakville appellation, Ramey’s 2018 Pedregal Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon captures the power, elegance and distinctive character of this exceptional terroir. Crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grown in iron-rich red soils with volcanic basalt rock, the wine undergoes native-yeast fermentation and matures for 24 months in new French oak barrels. Rich aromas of black cherry, cassis and ripe plum mingle with notes of leather, mint, mocha, espresso and subtle peppery spice. The palate is full-bodied yet beautifully refined, offering concentrated dark fruit, supple tannins and a silky, layered texture. A long, elegant finish highlights its depth, complexity and impressive aging potential. Presented in a distinguished 1.5-liter magnum format, this exceptional Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is an outstanding choice for collectors and special occasions.
