Ferguson 2018

- 94 points -

The 2018 Ferguson Estate Ferguson Vineyard comes from an estate vineyard in Walla Walla and is based on 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Malbec and Petit Verdot. Lots of earthy currants and mulberry fruits, new leather, tobacco, and cedary herb notes define the nose, and it’s medium to full-bodied, with a backward, unevolved profile, ripe tannins, and outstanding length on the finish. It opens up gradually with time in the glass and has a more savory, herbal, floral, complex, incredibly compelling character. It needs to be forgotten for 3-4 years and it should keep for 15-20 years nicely.
