2018 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (EXAMPLE)

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from our estate’s unique hilltop terrain, where ideal growing conditions – including perfect sun exposure and well-drained soils – allow for the development of ripe, award-winning fruit.

Small-batch and handcrafted, this wine embodies the essence of the land, with each vine carefully tended to ensure the highest quality. The result is a bold, expressive Cabernet Sauvignon that reflects both the character of the Big Dog estate and the meticulous care taken in every step of its production.

WINEMAKER'S TASTING NOTES:

The 2018 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon opens with an intense bouquet of dark fruits, featuring rich notes of plum, blackberry, and black currant, alongside the deep allure of black cherry. As the wine evolves, subtle hints of spice and oak emerge, adding complexity and depth to the vibrant fruit character. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with layers of dark fruit flavors that are beautifully complemented by a touch of spice and a smooth, well-integrated oak influence.
