Positive, full-bodied, and quite powerful, there’s the expected crème de cassis and blackberry from St. Helena Cabernets, with mineral, herb, subtle tobacco and vanilla, plum skins, and pie crust, purple flowers, forest-conifer notes, and very fine tannic structure.

Critical Acclaim

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 Alejandro Bulgheroni is sleek, polished and flamboyant to the core. The top wine in this range, it offers a heady concoction of inky dark fruit, crushed raspberry, mocha, dried flowers, spice and rose petal, all wrapped together in a stylish package that delivers the goods. The 2018 is superb.
