Reviews

93 Vinous -
The 2018 Inspirado is terrific. Plump and juicy, with silky contours, the 2018 is a real joy to taste today. All the elements come together effortlessly in the glass. Best of all, the 2018 will drink well with minimal cellaring. It's a fabulous effort from Keever and winemaker Celia Welch.

The 2018 Inspirado red blend is 87% cabernet sauvignon, with 10% merlot, and 3% petit verdot. In addition to carrying the unique distinction of being Celia’s least expensive wine, it is simply fantastic. A lot of young vine material proves its worth here, with a finely vibrant, and exceptionally bright young cabernet – that has an elegant friendliness suitable for drinking young...like right now, for instance. Fresh raspberries, sweet sage, blueberries, lilacs, and all things exuberant and charming...with a medium weight and a silky softness that shows a judicious kiss of French oak. 93 points from Vinous is quite admirable for their entry-level cabernet, and certainly worth reading below. I’d argue that it is the second-best Inspirado they’ve ever made (after my vintage, of course).
