Ehlers Estate 1886 Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 Review
A classic American Cab. This wine has an excellent depth of fruit with moderate natural acidity. It smells like blackberries with a whiff of cedar and a dollop of earth. The power and balance of this wine will allow it to age for the next decade, but it is drinking well now.
