Alejandro Bulgheroni Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is the flagship wine of Alejandro Bulgheroni’s Napa Valley estate, reflecting his vision of producing world class Cabernet Sauvignon from premier vineyard sites across the valley. The winemaking is guided by a renowned team that includes Philippe Melka and Michel Rolland, whose combined expertise brings both power and polish to the final wine.
The 2018 vintage opens with layered aromas of blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, and dark plum, accented by graphite, cedar, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, the wine is full bodied and richly textured, with concentrated dark fruit framed by fine grained, velvety tannins and well integrated French oak. Notes of cocoa, spice, and tobacco emerge on the long, seamless finish, showcasing a Cabernet Sauvignon that balances intensity with elegance and age worthy structure.
The flagship 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Alejandro Bulgheroni comes from a selection made by winemakers Philippe Melka and Michel Rolland, mostly from Rutherford and Oakville fruit. Aged 20 months in 78% new French oak, it has incredible aromatics of black and blue fruits, spring flowers, and graphite to go with a massive, full-bodied, concentrated style on the palate that somehow stays graceful, weightless, and elegant. This tour de force in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is guaranteed to put a smile on your face over the coming 20-25+ years.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate displays a deep purple-black color, needing a fair bit of swirling to unlock notes of cassis, wild blueberries and stewed plums, followed by hints of sandalwood, cedar, Indian spices and charcoal. The full-bodied palate is rich, opulent and hedonic, featuring concentrated black fruit preserves flavors with a whole fireworks display of exotic spice sparks, framed by velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with fantastic length.
Ripe and rather flashy, featuring a sleek core of cassis, violet and blackberry notes inlaid deftly with lightly singed vanilla, tobacco and apple wood hints. Shows good energy through the finish, too. This is for fans of the style. Drink now.
