B. Wise “Wisdom” Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 — Napa/Sonoma, California

Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Wisdom brings together fruit from Napa Valley and B. Wise’s Moon Mountain holdings in Sonoma, delivering remarkable richness and polish for the price. The wine shows generous blackberry, blueberry and ripe plum layered with violet, vanilla, licorice, coffee and warm baking spices, while the palate is plush and lively with broad texture and silky, lingering tannins. At 14.5% alcohol, it has the concentration expected from the excellent 2018 vintage while remaining balanced and immediately approachable. 94 Points - Boutellier Wines
