Winemaker Notes:The 2018 Calluna Vineyards Cuve is an expression of the Chalk Hill appellation where great sunlight and a cool climate produces intense fruit in a wine with balancing acidity, round tannins and moderate alcohol levels. The blend expresses the power of Cabernet Sauvignon, elegance of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and a bit of showiness from Malbec and Petit Verdot.
Blend: 41% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 9% Malbec, 6% Petit Verdot

The 2018 Calluna Vineyards Cuvee offers lots of chalky minerality and assorted dark fruits as well as medium to full body, a pure, balanced, elegant texture, bright acidity, and present yet ripe tannins. It’s beautifully done and just a balanced, young, unevolved beauty that’s going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and have 20 years or more of prime drinking. It’s certainly the finest vintage of this cuve I’ve tasted. Rating: 91+
