The 2018 Tor Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is sensational. Offering a wonderful sense of elegance and sheer class, this fabulous Cabernet instantly impresses with its gorgeous aromatic profile of ripe black cherries and boysenberries, which are woven together with graphite, spring flowers, licorice and sweet spices that all slowly take shape in the glass. On the palate this is full-bodied and voluptuous, with beautifully polished tannins that provide excellent structure. It continues to impress with its incredible overall balance of ripe fruit and lovely underlying acidity that results in a remarkable fresh character that persists all the way through the spectacular finish. This is an absolutely marvelous Cabernet Sauvignon from Tor that should go on to evolve gracefully for many years to come.

Barrel Tasting - Aromatic profile of black cherries and crème de cassis which are woven together with graphite, spring flowers, licorice and exotic spices that all slowly take shape in the glass. Medium-plus to full-bodied, with beautifully polished tannins that provide excellent structure. Wonderful balance of ripe fruit and lovely underlying acidity though the finish.
