Flavour notes
The 2018 Cardinale opens with a dark, layered aromatic profile: cassis, black cherry, wild blueberry, blackberry and plum, alongside dark chocolate and a subtle rose petal note. Beneath the fruit, the more savoury and mineral tones come through clearly, with graphite, pencil shavings, tobacco, cedar, dried herbs, garrigue, pine needle and mushroom.On the palate it is described as medium- to full-bodied, with a lively core of dark fruit and a refined texture. The tannins are fine-grained, round and silky, giving the wine structure without roughness. The finish is long, carrying crushed stone, mineral and lightly saline accents.

Product info about Cardinale Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Cardinale Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is a Napa Valley red that brings together several voices of the valley rather than speaking from a single site alone. For this vintage, the blend was built from fruit across seven appellations and 32 individual wine lots, including areas such as Diamond Mountain District, Mount Veeder, Howell Mountain, Spring Mountain District, Stags Leap District, St. Helena and Atlas Peak.The composition is led by Cabernet Sauvignon, making up 90% of the blend, with 10% Merlot contributing to the structure and mouthfeel of the vintage. The wine spent 22 months in French oak, a little over four fifths of it new, placing it firmly among serious Napa Cabernet-based wines with depth, shape and cellar ambition.
Cardinale is built around the idea of making one Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine each year that draws on different parts of Napa Valley. Mountain-grown fruit is linked to structure, intensity, minerality and ageing potential, while other Napa sources can add floral detail, mid-palate presence and finer tannins. At Drankenshop Broekmans, this bottle sits in that more contemplative corner of the American wine selection: powerful, yes, but carefully assembled rather than simply broad or heavy.
The 2018 vintage has been very highly regarded by recognised critics, with 98 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Wine Enthusiast, plus 98+ from Jeb Dunnuck. Several critical notes also point to further bottle development over time. As these are the last bottles, this vintage has a particularly considered feel for those following top Napa Valley Cabernet blends.
The 2018 Cardinale opens with a dark, layered aromatic profile: cassis, black cherry, wild blueberry, blackberry and plum, alongside dark chocolate and a subtle rose petal note. Beneath the fruit, the more savoury and mineral tones come through clearly, with graphite, pencil shavings, tobacco, cedar, dried herbs, garrigue, pine needle and mushroom.
