Trujillo 2018 Henry Brothers Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
$ 18199
Winemaker Notes
This select blend of 2018 Henry Brothers Reserve is a magnificent
representation of an amazing vintage, it is also a great expression of the infamous
Howell Mountain AVA. Having at hand all the five Bordeaux varietals planted in this
single vineyard lend to the artful and unique blending of the Cabernet Sauvignon. This
Cabernet blend delivers with authority amid its incredible depth and complexity. Upon
opening, this wine steps forward with spicy notes of black fruits, hints of sweet tobacco
and a ting of cedar all combining to express amazing complexity in the aromatics. With
time and a little aeration, this wine sores assertively. Rich, full flavors come forth with
notes of blackberry, sweet plum and black currant. Firm, fine, sweet tannin gallantly
hold this wine together, but give way to its rich flavors unfolding with blackberry,
licorice and bittersweet cocoa. Perfectly balanced structure carry the wine along its
journey to a lingering finish.
I’m thrilled to once again craft the Henry Brother Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
in the exceptional 2018 vintage. I describe this wine as . . . Big, bold and spicy with
unfolding complexity. Enjoyable now with generous decanting – I also recommend
additional cellar time. The wine will evolve elegantly. Drink; 2022 – 2036
