Grown predominantly on the Valley floor in the warmer micro-climates, the fruit displays a perfect balance of soft, ripe red plums and dark chocolate structure. This Cabernet Sauvignon an opulent, fruit forward representation that stays true to the classic Elizabeth Spencer style: balance, elegance, and grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJD92\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJeb Dunnuck\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Cuvée is a terrific value from this producer. It has a classic, very balanced, medium-bodied style that offers lots of red and black currant-like fruit as well as traditional Bordeaux-like notes of cedar pencil, tobacco leaf, and loamy soil. It’s nicely balanced, with present yet ripe tannins, integrated acidity, and a great finish, all making for an outstanding Napa Valley Cabernet that competes with wines two to three times the price. It should keep for 10-15 years.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJS91\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSweet berry and floral aromas follow through to a medium-bodied red with aromas and flavors of blackcurrant, pine, licorice and dark chocolate. Firm, fine-grained tannins frame layers of juicy berries and chocolate.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWE90\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis blend of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Sauvignon Blanc offers well-concentrated aromas of lemongrass, lemon peel and white peach, with a hint of crushed white peppercorn perking it up. It’s brisk and zesty on the palate yet broadened out by a creamy melon flavor. Shots of citrus and peppery herb lend depth, with a floral tone extending on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elizabeth Spencer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975697371360,"sku":"103716","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/t5800777nu_1.jpg?v=1663886657","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/elizabeth-spencer-cabernet-sauvignon-special-cuvee-2018-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
