April 19, 2024 - From magnum, no formal notes but consistent with my experience from back in October of 2021 (if you want more detail). To my palate, the 2018 Caravina is pretty locked up (large format or not) which I gotta say, that’s pretty consistent with my feeling about a lot of Cabernet from the 2018 vintage in Napa/Sonoma right now. I would place this squarely into the “youthful” category and for those that love wines that are primary and full of bright, vigorous fruit, this is for you. To my palate however, this is a vintage I can’t wait to drink after the intensity chills out and it takes on some secondary characteristics. Best after 2028 and through 2048.

November 8, 2023 - Drank over several nights this is still a bit young, with plenty of life left. It's on the big and rustic side, a really nice Cab and at around $70 a good deal for quality Napa Cab. Leather, tobacco, licorice, black cherry. This will improve a point or two with some more age.
