"The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Three Twins Vineyard is magnificent. Silky, plush and nuanced, the 2018 is positively stellar. All the elements come together so gracefully. Bright red berry fruit, blood orange, spice, mint and rose petal are some of the many nuances that develop in bottle. The 2018 is one of the finest wines I have tasted off this Conn Valley site. It is elegant, gracious and drop-dead gorgeous, with bright, saline notes that extend the finish nicely. Aging was 21 months in barrel, 80% new." Antonio Galloni Vinous Media 97 points Drink 2025-48

A full-bodied and richly layered wine, this impresses in its rapturous notes of oak, caramel and black cherry. Dense and well structured, it delivers intensity alongside nuanced elements of crushed rock, earth and underlying acidity. Enjoy 2028-2038.

Made by Thomas Rivers Brown, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Three Twins Vineyard comes from a five-acre hillside vineyard located in the hills above St. Helena. It offers a solid bouquet of blackcurrants, crushed rock-like minerality, chocolate, smoked tobacco, and earth. This carries to a full-bodied wine with a rich, mouth-filling texture, building tannins and structure, terrific overall balance, and a great finish. This is a rockingly good Cabernet that certainly punches above its price point. It benefits from air and is going to evolve for 15+ years or more. It's well worth seeking out.
