2018 Meleagris gallopavo Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Old Vines

There are few wines worthy of deification, but the 2018 Meleagris might be among the rare that do.  It boasts a saturated inky-purple color and after 3 years in bottle everything has come together seamlessly.  A striking perfume of blackberry preserves, wild blueberries, and dark cherry all tinged with turmeric, cardamon, Sichuan pepper, iron, and a rocky minerality.  Elegant yet deep, graceful yet authoritatively flavorful, this complex young wine will delight the cerebral drinker and seduce the hedonistic tippler for decades to come.
