Soul Growers Cellar Dwellar Cabernet Sauvignon (2018) is a bold, cellar-worthy red built for longevity. It opens with dark fruit depth—blackcurrant, blackberry, and cassis—complemented by mocha, vanilla, and tobacco from measured oak. The palate is full-bodied and structured, offering concentrated fruit, cocoa, and espresso notes with integrated spice. Tannins are firm but refined, leading to a long, persistent finish. Decant to reveal its complexity now, or cellar for additional development. A solid match for grilled ribeye, lamb, or aged cheeses, and a compelling choice for Cabernet collectors.
