Overview

A barrel sample, the 2018 St. Eden is deep garnet-purple in color. The nose is a little closed at this nascent stage, offering broody glimpses at blackcurrant jelly, boysenberries and black raspberries before opening out to a spicy undercurrent of cloves, black pepper and cumin seed. The palate is built like a brick house with a solid structure of ripe, grainy tannins and a lively backbone framing the full-bodied, muscular fruit, finishing long and layered. St. Eden comes from a red, rocky, iron-rich vineyard site located just north of the Oakville Crossroad in the Vaca Mountains.

The 2018 St. Eden is dense and powerful from the start. Usually a much more charming and sensual wine, the St. Eden is a beast, at least in the early going. Dark fruit, chocolate, leather, spice and licorice all build in the glass. The St. Eden has a lot going on, even if the elements have not quite come together yet. Bright acids linger on the persistent, expressive finish. I can't wait to taste it from bottle. The 2018 is such a fascinating wine. The immediacy and sensuality of this site can almost be too much if not reined in, which is exactly what winemaker Cory Empting has started to do in recent years. The results speak for themselves.
