2018 Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

2018 was a great vintage. Good rains during last winter ensured a full soil moisture profile. Consistent weather until late Summer also helped the vines gain strength to settle for a couple of hot spells just before ripening which was marked by ideal dry conditions.

The Huntington Estate Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is the wine that consistently embodies and defines the Huntington style and philosophy. These Cabernets are supremely ageworthy, varietal and expressive of the terroir, displaying exceptional tannins and palate while offering extraordinarily good value.
