Immortal Estate Impassable Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

99 Points - limited                                                                                        New release from the former Hidden Ridge winery re-baptised Immortal Estate! Winemaker Tim Milos and proprietor Tim Martin, owner of Tusk Estates. 98+ Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The Immortal Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Impassable Mountain is another luxurious wine with depth that is uncommon for Sonoma, offering a perfume of cassis, fresh leather, licorice, and cedar. Full-bodied without weight, it has fine, ripe tannins, and warming structure, with ripe fruit of blackberry, turned earth, and sage unfolding on the finish. Hold this 3-4 years and drink over the following 20 or more years. For more Napa-centric collectors, these wines from just the other side of the Mayacamas should certainly be sought out. previous vintage 95 Points Robert Parker: "The Immortal Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Impassable Mountain (from the Hidden Ridge vineyard) is deep garnet-purple colored and scented of crème de cassis, plum preserves and wild blueberries with hints of cigar box, yeast extract, beef drippings and fertile loam. Full-bodied and chock-full of fragrant black fruits, it has a solid frame of grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and savory. 342 cases produced.... ...When I first started doing my centralized tastings of the many wineries that I could not possibly have time to visit, one of the remarkable standouts for Cabernet Sauvignon was Hidden Ridge (renamed Immortal Estate). These are clearly world-class Cabernet Sauvignons and should be considered by any serious collector for their cellars."
