Roy Estate

The 2018 Roy Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is an opulent expression of this bountiful and acclaimed vintage. Harvesting until the very last days of October exclusively from our hillside vineyard blocks allowed for the development of exceptionally robust and complex aromatics. Dark cherry, black plum and blueberry notes cascade decadently from the glass, while wild mountain herbs like thyme, mint and fennel promise freshness.

Our patience during harvest was paired with a deliberately extended period resting the grapes on their skins in the winery. The result is a wine of substantial body and powerful resonance. After an initial flood of ripe, dark fruit, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon intrigues with notes of toasted grains and dried hay. Evoking golden fields on a warm autumn day, this comforting mid-palate complements warm, lingering tones of roasted coffee beans and baking spices on the finish. Exceptionally focused tannins, a signature of our hillside blocks, provide precise structure and the ability to age for the next 15-20 years.
