DuMOL Meteor Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

“The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Meteor Vineyard is the most reticent of the wines in this range. Blueberry, graphite, lavender, spice, menthol and licorice infuse this brooding Coombsville Cabernet with tons of personality. Searing tannins need time to soften, but the balance is there for that to happen. Drinking window: 2026-2043. 96 points

These three 2018 Cabernets from DuMOL are superb. The wines are deep, polished and so expressive of place. I will review the rest of DuMOL’s extensive lineup in my upcoming Sonoma report. In the meantime, though, readers will want to check out these sublime Cabernets from winemaker Andy Smith and his team.”
