MC4, St. Helena, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

 This wine get hold of the old school Napa style, and that’s a good thing in my book.  Blackberry, currants, mild dried herbs and a dash of bell pepper are well integrated, and carefully selected oak adds soft spice and moderate toasty character.  This will age long, or you can decant well near term for full enjoyment.  Note: I reviewed this in August of 2021, and came up with the same score though my notes from then show it was more primary at the time.  It’s looking good!
