Tasting Notes:
2018 Amici Missouri Hopper Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon:
98 points Jeb Dunnuck:
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Missouri Hopper Vineyard is another wine in this lineup that’s a dead ringer for a top wine from the Pessac-Léognan region of Bordeaux. Revealing a dense purple/plum color as well as classic Cabernet notes of blackcurrants, smoked tobacco, chocolate, and gravelly earth, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mid-palate, building tannins, and a great finish. It has enough fruit to be approachable today yet is going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for 20-25+ years.
2018 Amici Spring Mountain Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon:
97 points Jeb Dunnuck:
Another total winner in this lineup is the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain District. Its deep purple color is followed by a classic Spring Mountain bouquet of darker currant and berry fruits intermixed with lots of foresty conifer tree, tobacco, bay leaf, and mountain scrub brush-like nuances. More classic tobacco and espresso notes emerge with time in the glass, and this full-bodied beauty has a wonderfully textured, elegant mouthfeel, a stacked mid-palate, and a great finish. This gorgeous Spring Mountain Cabernet is going to drink well for 20-25 years.
2018 Amici Hirondelle Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon:
96+ Points Jeb Dunnuck:
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Hirondelle Vineyard comes from the Stags Leap region of the valley and offers a more perfumed, complex style in its red and black currants, dried flowers, smoked tobacco, and lead pencil-like aromas and flavors. Hitting the palate with full-bodied richness, it’s another flawlessly balanced, seamless wine from winemaker Tony Biagi that can be enjoyed any time over the coming 20 years or more.
2018 Amici Oakville Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon:
96 points Vinous:
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch is fabulous. Rich and explosive, the 2018 possesses tremendous density and volume. Bright acids lend freshness to play off the inky dark red/purplish fruit. I would cellar the 2018 for at least a few years, as it needs time to come together, but there is so much to look forward to.
