Including 3% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Generations is a brilliant Cabernet Sauvignon that offers textbook blackcurrants, green tobacco, iron, and salty mineral aromas and flavors. Rich, full-bodied, nicely concentrated, and textured, it's a beautiful wine. Drink it any time over the coming 15-20 years.

(95+ points) The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Generations, containing 3% Petit Verdot, was aged in 61% new French oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Deep garnet-purple colored, it is a little youthfully subdued. With coaxing the nose opens out to reveal compelling black currant pastilles, baked black cherries, boysenberries and tilled soil with suggestions of candied violets, aged meats and anise. Full-bodied, the palate is absolutely laden with black and blue fruit layers, framed by wonderfully ripe, grainy tannins and lovely background freshness, finishing long and fragrant. 1,208 cases produced.- LPB

The 2017 Generations is bold, rich and explosive. Super-ripe black cherry, blackberry jam, cloves, mint and licorice give the 2017 its decidedly flamboyant, full-throttle personality. Lush and exotically ripe, this will drink well right out of the gate. -- Antonio Galloni

This is solid, with mulled plum and blackberry fruit forming the core while notes of bay, sassafras, tobacco and alder weave around. Nice loamy tug through the finish, with the fruit keeping pace. Best from 2021 through 2031. 1,208 cases made. — JM
