O’SHAUGHNESSY
2018 CABERNET SAUVIGNON
NAPA VALLEY
O’Shaughnessy is one of Napa Valley’s top Cabernet producers, and it’s rare for us to feature their wines because of their scarcity. They have machine-like consistency for producing focused, intensely flavored Cabernets with perfect balance.
As Virginie Boone states in her Wine Enthusiast review below:
“This is such an outstanding wine at any price, but here we’re talking about outstanding value as well.”
Flaunting Oakville fruit’s alluring complexity, Mount Veeder’s savory tinge, and Howell Mountain Cabernet’s impenetrable concentration, O’Shaughnessy’s Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a harmonious composition of the winery’s Estate vineyards, located in some of Napa Valley’s most elite neighborhoods.
Since their inception, O’Shaughnessy’s winemaker has been Sean Capiaux, whom you might know from his work at Peter Michael or his own brand Capiaux. He did a terrific job on the 2018 release, perfectly expressing Mountain terroir enriched with Oakville elegance.

From Wine Enthusiast: “This is such an outstanding wine at any price, but here we’re talking about outstanding value as well. Notes of iron and crushed rock lead to a lengthy balance of juicy red fruit and clove. With small amounts of Merlot, Malbec, Saint-Macaire and Cabernet Franc, it shows a deft hand at blending, with lasting notes of black pepper and nuanced oak.”

Tasting Notes: “The 2017 Sebright Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a richly focused, exquisitely balanced and impeccably made wine, with a seductive nose of blackberry syrup, red currants, lightly toasted oak, and lovely sweet florals. The intense palate displays its power in a more linear style that’s focused without excess fleshiness. Layers of sweet crushed blackberries and concentrated black cherry juice combine with hints of tobacco, leather, and spice to create an awe-inspiring mouth experience. The lavish finish cuts a swath across your palate, then lingers there for over a minute. A true delight to contemplate.”

From The Wine Advocate: “Deep purple-black colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley gives redcurrant jelly, black cherries, mulberries and bay leaves scents with wafts of damp soil, olives and truffles. The soft, medium-bodied palate gives bags of youthful fruit and an earthy finish.” 92 Points
