2018 MacDonald Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon – Oakville Purity from Historic To Kalon Soils

The 2018 MacDonald Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is a benchmark expression of Oakville terroir, sourced from a historic vineyard adjacent to the famed To Kalon. Crafted by the MacDonald brothers, this wine reflects meticulous, hands-on farming and a deep respect for the land's legacy.

Tasting Notes

Exhibiting aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and graphite, the wine unfolds with layers of lavender, spice, and a touch of iron. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious balance of robust tannins and lush fruit flavors, culminating in a long, mineral-driven finish.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Sourced from organically farmed vines planted in 1954, the grapes are hand-harvested and vinified with precision. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, allowing the purity of the fruit and the character of the Oakville benchland to shine through.

Investment & Collectibility

With a limited production of approximately 500 cases, the 2018 vintage is highly sought after by collectors. Its impeccable structure and aging potential make it a valuable addition to any fine wine collection.

Vintage Specifics & Accolades

The 2018 growing season in Napa Valley was marked by ideal conditions, resulting in wines of exceptional balance and depth. This vintage of MacDonald Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon has garnered critical acclaim:

Flirting with perfection, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon from this tiny family estate shows the pure, elegant, yet concentrated style of this vintage to a T. Darker currants, cassis, olives, violets, and spring flower notes all flow to a full-bodied, concentrated, ultra-classic, flawlessly balanced Cabernet. The tannins are present yet polished, it has wonderfully integrated acidity, and is one of those wines that keeps you coming back to the glass. Count yourself lucky if you’re able to snag any bottles. It will ideally be given 4-6 years of bottle age and it’s going to evolve for 20-25 years or more.

Vinous

(Rating 98+). The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is just all goodness. Creme de cassis, lavender, graphite, cinnamon and licorice all grace this exquisite, wonderfully nuanced Cabernet Sauvignon. There is almost no sensation of tannin. The 2018 impresses with its magnificent purity and pedigree. Time brings out the wine's inherent gravitas and pure power. Readers who can find it are in for a treat! Reviewed by Antonio Galloni, Issue date: October 2021. Drinking window: 2026 - 2043.
