Mutt Lynch Innocent Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Home > Region > Region - California > Mutt Lynch Innocent Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

2018 Innocent Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.  2018 was an exceptional vintage for Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, garnering critical praise for producing wines that are aromatically expressive, rich and energetic, with striking balance and plenty of potential.  Winemaker/Owner Brenda Lynch hopes you enjoy her latest release of Innocent Cabernet Sauvignon.

Inspiration for the Painting.  “Darn dogs – I just love ‘em! There is no deep hidden meaning here. Dogs simply delight me, says artost. Glenise Henschel. They are rambunctious, magical, and fun to be around.  Innocent is a painting of my lovely assistant, Theo. Happy. Joyous. Ready to play. And, if I might add, incredibly helpful in the studio.”

Deep, dark fruit aromas combine with subtle vanilla, clove and spice from oak aging. Layers of flavor explode in the mouth creating a richly textured and lush mouthfeel. Black current and black cherry intermingle with dark chocolate and hints of smoke in a luxuriously long finish. Ripe and silky tannins complete the finish promising exceptional aging potential. This wine deserves a special meal. Decant the bottle, let it breathe and serve it with Beef Wellington, done medium rare. Accompanied by garlic mash potatoes and oven roasted brussels sprouts.

  • 2018 Growers Guild (Sharecropper’s) Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley

    Add to cart
    $22.00

    During the economic recession of 2001, and Owen Roe’s first couple vintages as a winery, Washington growers were facing hardship in selling their fruit, come harvest time. At Owen Roe, they wanted to help their farming friends and prevent missing out on such well-tended, beautiful fruit. They were presented with the difficult and costly purchasing of grapes to process, cellar and bottle, waiting several months to recover the costs on the finished wine. To overcome this obstacle, they decided to bring back the historical business practice of sharecropping, resulting in the aptly named wine, “Sharecropper’s.” Now called Growers Guild, this partnership meant that Owen Roe would take the fruit, make the wine and once it was sold, share the profits with the growers. This remains an important part of their history and due to the success of this wine; they are now able to pay the growers upfront. Everyone’s favorite go-to weeknight Cab does not disappoint in the Growers Guild Cabernet Sauvignon 2018. Sweet aromas of blackberry, candied fruit, vanilla and brown sugar leads to a more savory palate of pomegranate, green pepper and oil cured olives. This Cabernet finishes with bright acidity and lingering tannins. We recommend opening this wine now and enjoying it at a young age, however, this will age well for 4-6 years when properly cellared.

  • Happy Canyon Piocho Bordeaux Red Blend 2018, Happy Canyon Valley, California, USA

    Add to cart
    $37.00

    Piocho Ranch was acquired by Thomas J. Barrack Jr. in 1992. Out of a love for the countryside and a ranchers life, the Barrack family developed rolling acres of vineyards. The peaceful and beautiful property sits nestled in the Happy Canyon Valley, a perfect location for growing grapes and riding horses. Two regulation sized Polo fields are groomed with the same care as the finest golf courses in the world. Piocho means “Where the two rivers meet and go to heaven.” The 2018 vintage is one of the greats. The fruit reached perfect physiological ripeness retaining natural grape acidity resulting in very balanced wines with low alcohol and rich concentrated varietal flavors. Aromatically, the wine is uplifting, with notes of plum, ceder, bing cherry, berry pie and hints of earth and red clay. On the palate the wine is fruitful, exuberant, with red plum and blackberry. The wine continues with fine-grain tannins, saddle leather and wonderful savory notes. The finish is long and satisfying with lingering dusty tannins and expressive resolved fruit. The wine is wonderful to drink today and will continue to evolve in balance, length and complexity as the more structured Cabernet Sauvignon matures. This wine will continue to develop and excel over the next ten years.This a truly lovely wine that is wonderful to drink today when paired with big rich cuisine such as Santa Maria Tri-Tip.  The wines structure will allow it to mature and age nicely for at least another decade! Dusty, slow-building tannins give grip to the finish, which repeats the cherry and licorice notes.
