Lot 588 is a highly collectible Moon Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon of the finest pedigree. A single-vineyard, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from a family-owned Sonoma winery with long ties to this storied appellation. As they’ve done for decades, our source uses generations of winemaking know-how to produce timeless expressions of world-class terroir.

Powerfully expressive, the wine opens with an aromatic interplay of graphite, menthol, and crushed volcanic rock wrapped around a core of black cherry, plum, and cracked peppercorns. The entry is rich and structured, showcasing age-worthy componentry in every direction – high-toned cherry, deep leather, black fruit, and cedar resin unfold, anchored by medium-plus acidity and plentiful dry, grippy tannins. The finish is long and mineral-driven, leading into additional dark fruit, vanilla bean, and earth. Decant this generously if opening young, but keep plenty for future special occasions.

Serious Aging Potential - Likely Worth The Wait

"A bomb of a mountain wine that needs time to mature. A nose of basil, almond, graphite, and dark fruit precedes a palate rich in leather, cherry, plum, graphite, with forward acidity and lots of age-worthy tannins. As has already been noted, a *very* good decant is good if drinking young. But for me, I’ll be cellaring this, and opening the next bottle around 2029. I doubt I’ll be disappointed!"

Inviting

"I'm not skilled with sommelier verbiage, but I really enjoyed this wine for its flavor, structure, and complexity. It is young, and the recommended decant was well worth it. I savored a glass for about an hour, and it evolved really nicely; it is definitely age-worthy."
