Winemaker Notes

A profound Rutherford, Napa Valley wine with stunning elegance, richness and density. Deep garnet in color, the 2018 MARTIN ESTATE Collector’s Reserve is expressive and powerful.

A complexity of compelling structure and breathtaking concentration. This phenomenal Cabernet Sauvignon with intensely concentrated red and black fruits instantly impresses. Striking aromatics of black currants, violets, warm cassis and wild blueberries, followed by nuanced notes of porcini, dried sage and cocoa dazzle the senses. The palate opens with an explosive array of luscious stone fruits, black truffle, and dark chocolate, which beautifully integrates into refined silky tannins, leading to a long, luxurious finish. The finest Cabernet Sauvignon produced at the Estate to date. Savor now, or cellar for up to 20 years.
