2018 Chakana Estate Cabernet Sauvignon - 90 PTS - JD

jeb dunnuck logo 250"Coming from 10-year-old Cabernet vines planted in the sandy, loamy soils of the estate vineyard in the Uco Valley, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate sports a deep purple/ruby color as well as an herbal bouquet of blackcurrants, green tobacco, menthol, and spring flowers. With medium-bodied richness, good overall balance, and ripe, polished tannins, it's a terrific, rock-solid Cabernet that delivers ample character. Drink it any time over the coming 7-8 years."

2018 Chakana Estate Cabernet Sauvignon - 90 PTS - WE

wine enthusiast 90 pts"Plum and berry aromas are full and rounded in a welcoming way. Sticking to the script, this Cabernet is generous and pulpy in feel, with coarse acidity lending lift. Spicy dark-berry flavors carry to the steady finish. - MICHAEL SCHACHNER"
