Immortal Estate Slope Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
96 Points Parker New release from the former Hidden Ridge winery re-baptised Immortal Estate! Winemaker Tim Milos and proprietor Tim Martin, owner of Tusk Estates. 96 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Layers of opulent aromatics lift from the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Slope with fresh leather, boysenberry liqueur, violets, and fresh tobacco leaf. Full-bodied, with fully ripe tannins, a velvety texture, and a long finish, this is a bold expression with a luxurious polished feel. It has quite a bit of immediate appeal but has the structure to improve and develop over the next 15-20 years. Drink 2024-2044.... ...Immortal Estate is a project of Tim Martin of Tusk in Napa, Randy Nichols, and winemaker Timothy Milos. Tim was drawn to the diversity of Sonoma and wanted to make a truly luxury wine on the other side of the mountain. Immortal is located just on the other side of Spring Mountain and is a terraced vineyard site on 55-degree slopes. The estate was officially rebranded in 2014. In 2020, they lost 30% of the vineyard to the Glass Fire, and no wine was produced that year due to the inability to farm the land safely. The 2018 vintage, however, was a year with very few heat spikes and allowed for even and long maturation."

From steep sloping Hidden Ridge Vineyard. Mostly Cabernet with Petite Verdot (2.5%) blended in. Dark ruby color. Aromas of dark bramble berry fruit with hints of coffee, lavender and sweet spices. The expressive palate is full of black berry/plum and blueberry fruit with additional notes of tobacco, black tea, and dark coffee. Pleasant sweet spicy/oaky and very long finish. Dense, complex, rich and extremely well balanced. Part of the North Shore House (Paired with a fig dessert) Wine Pairing Dinner on March 9, 2024.
