Our Provenance Guarantee
Purchase with confidence. All of our wines are selectively sourced and thoroughly inspected for authenticity and signs of poor storage. Accepted bottles are preserved in our climate-controlled cellar until they reach your doorstep. We have no storefront and no walk-in traffic, so nothing is moved or handled between inspection and shipping.
The bottle you see photographed is the bottle you receive (or fundamentally identical when multiple bottles are listed), and our commitment to you is that it arrives as represented. If it doesn’t, we want to hear from you.
Tasting Notes:
97 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Patriarch needs a little coaxing to reveal slowly unfurling scents of blackcurrant pastilles, Morello cherries, blueberry compote and raspberry leaves with suggestions of fertile loam, cast-iron pan, violets and chocolate box plus a touch of garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is taut and muscular, quivering with latent energy at this youthful stage, framed by firm, ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long with a whole array of mineral, black fruit and floral fireworks. It will require a good 5 more years in bottle and should cellar for a further 30 years+.
