The 2018 Pauli Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a striking expression of this exceptional site, showcasing a deep ruby hue and remarkable clarity. The extended hang time of the 2018 vintage allowed for optimal ripening, resulting in a wine with beautifully layered aromatics of dark plum, cassis, and ripe blackberry, accented by hints of cinnamon, clove, and cedar. On the palate, structured yet velvety tannins provide a refined framework for the wine’s rich, concentrated fruit. Nuances of cocoa, espresso, and vanilla emerge with aeration, adding complexity and depth.
