Patrimony Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 (750ML)

99 JD / 96-98+ WA / 97 VM

Deep purple-colored, the tiny production 2017 Patrimony Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 30 months in new French. This rocking wine has a huge nose of deep black fruits, new leather, unsmoked tobacco, exotic spices, and chocolate. Full-bodied and stunningly concentrated, with awesome tannins, a stacked mid-palate, and just a gorgeous finish, it's a magical wine and an incredible 2017. Bravo! Jeb Dunnuck

The 2017 Patrimony is stunning—may well flirt with perfection when it's bottled in over two years' time. The wine bursts from the glass with a beautifully pure bouquet of black plums, cherries and cassis, complemented by notes of candied violets, walnuts and dark chocolate. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ineffably complete and multidimensional, with bottomless depth at the core, its rich structuring tannins entirely cloaked in bright, succulent fruit. Lavish on the attack, the mid-palate and finish are tense and focused. This is a fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles. --William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Dark, bright-rimmed purple. Powerful, highly expressive scents of cherry liqueur, cassis, fruitcake, vanilla and rose oil; pipe tobacco and smoky oak nuances add complexity. Deeply concentrated, oak-spiced dark berry preserve, cherry pie and mocha flavors stain the palate, and an undercurrent of juicy acidity conveys an impressively energetic quality. Plush, densely packed and extremely young, finishing with powerful, spicy thrust, youthfully chewy tannins and striking persistence.-- Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media
