Why We Love This Wine:

PATEL Wines’ first release was 100 cases of a 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon. Robert Parker of The Wine Advocate reviewed the wine, scoring it a 95, and The Wine Advocate has scored the subsequent vintages at 94 or above. A successful follow up was the introduction of a Right Bank Bordeaux-style red wine in 2008.

After years of research and cultivating relationships with growers, PATEL was able to add limited-production wines to the brand, including a Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon, a Atlas Peak Malbec, and a Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc. Current total production is around 1,000 cases and sells out each year. One common thread… unrelenting attention to detail.

 

Sommelier Tasting Notes:

The 2018 Red Wine, composed predominantly of Merlot from Atlas Peak, is consistent with previous years bottlings.  Merlot brings forward elegant texture and red fruit characteristics including Bing cherry, and red plum.  Cabernet Sauvignon reinforces the tannin structure.  The blend between the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon creates balanced concentration and drinkability.
