The 2018 Lerner Project RMS Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, a proud product of the USA, hails from the verdant vineyards of California’s North Coast. Nestled in the famed Napa region, renowned for its rich, fertile soil and perfect climate for viticulture, the Lerner Project has produced this exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon, a varietal known for its depth and complexity.

This 2018 vintage is a testament to that reputation. Looking at the wine, you'll be struck by its deep garnet-purple hue, a color as intense and layered as the wine itself. On the nose, you'll find an inviting bouquet of blueberry pie, boysenberries, and crème de cassis, punctuated by intriguing notes of black olives, lavender, and pencil lead.

Taking a sip, your palate is greeted by a full-bodied, decadent explosion of blue and black fruit preserves. The robust flavors are framed by firm, grainy tannins and a refreshing burst of acidity, leading to a long, savory finish that lingers. Subtle undercurrents of white flowers, spice, and a touch of minerality round out this wine's complex profile.

The 2018 Lerner Project RMS Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold red, with a supple, sexy character. The wine's full-bodied richness builds to a wonderful sense of opulence, balanced by an elegance that speaks to the skill of the Lerner Project's winemakers. This wine, with its cork closure, has been aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak, a process that adds further to its depth and complexity.

Receiving high praise from critics like Jeb Dunnuck, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, and Vinous, this wine has been celebrated for its balance of richness and elegance. Each review highlights the wine's beautiful balance and building richness, making it a wine that is sure to impress.
