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.
