About the Barnett Vineyards Rattlesnake Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 750ml
The color of the wine is a beautiful dark purple at the core with a crimson rim. Immediate dark chocolate and coffee jump out of the glass, as well as blackcurrant puree and fresh blackberries. Underlying elements of eucalyptus, gravel, and pepper spice complement the licorice and nutmeg spice. This is a very lush velvety wine on entry. The dark berry fruit is very pronounced, with other flavors of peppercorn and mocha. The sizeable tannins are in a chalky complex form that is matched by the acidity and demand cellaring. This beautiful and substantial wine will age amazingly over the next 15-17 years (2035-2037).
Here is a wine that, from the very first sniff, is sure to make even the most hard-to-please Cabernet Sauvignon lovers sit up and take note. Its utterly gorgeous aromas of extraordinarily deep, beautifully defined, cassis-like fruit are overlain by lovely oak that brings a tantalizing touch of crèmebrûlée sweetness into play. While it is very solidly structured with the tannin's to age for years and years, its altogether unrelenting fruit effortlessly outdistances its youthful grip and astringency. It is a wine that serious collectors of fine Cabernet's who know the rewards of patience will not want to not miss, and bringing it to the table any sooner than a half-decade hence would, in our minds, be a near-unforgivable sin.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Rattlesnake opens a little broody with notes of crushed rocks, tar and tilled soil over a core over baked plums, warm cassis and mulberries. Medium to full-bodied, firm and grainy-textured, it delivers lovely freshness and an elegant, well-poised finish.
This shows ripe dark-fruit character with notes of licorice, cloves, leather and a touch of musk. Full-bodied and plush with a ripe-fruit core on the palate, chewy tannins and a long finish. This needs time for the tannins to soften.
