The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold, juicy wine that offers quite a bit of immediacy and pure appeal. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, mocha, spice, leather and licorice are all kicked up in this plush, succulent entry-level Cabernet Sauvignon from Inglenook. This is an especially fine edition of the 1882.

A barrel sample blended of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Malbec, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon 1882 is deep garnet-purple colored and reveals lovely floral scents of rose hip tea and lavender over a core of crushed black and red currants and chocolate-covered cherries plus a hint of dried Provence herbs. Medium-bodied, refreshing and elegantly played in the mouth, it has a chewy backbone and an herbal lift on the finish. 3,950 cases are estimated to be made.
