Tasting Notes
Seven Hills Vineyard is synonymous with expressive red fruit and a mineral backbone, and this vintage is no exception. Scents of cherry notes and hints of cassis lead the way, followed closely by Moroccan spices, hints of dusty cedar, and the intrigue of orange oil. The first sip shows bright acidity with polished tannins and a lush mid-palate. The long, dense finish hints at the 2018 vintage being a powerhouse for years to come.

Awards & Accolades
93 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
“One of my favorites in the lineup… This medium-bodied, elegant, incredibly pure 2018 has ample red and black fruits, some background oak, light, polished tannins, and classic, Bordeaux-like notes of tobacco, chocolate, and cedarwood.”
93 Points, Wine & Spirits
“It has the lift that’s typical of Seven Hills cabernet, with a sweet red lining around darker fruit. Scents of cedar and tobacco leaf give a savory touch to the texture. Powerfully concentrated and built to age.”
