Caterwaul Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2018  - First Bottle

Reviews

94 Jeb Dunnuck -
I was able to taste three wines from 2018 from Caterwaul, all made by Thomas Rivers Brown. The appellation 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is a winner, offering classic Cabernet notes of ripe dark fruits, tobacco, chocolate, and candied violets. Rich and full-bodied, it has a light, elegant texture, terrific tannins, and a great finish. I suspect it's a knock-it-out-of-the-park value and it should evolve for a solid 15 years.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is not just gorgeous, it is also one of the best values readers will come across. Ripe, juicy and expressive, the 2018 once again hits all the right notes. Inky dark fruit, smoke, licorice, spice and sweet floral accents all race out of the glass. Readers will have a very hard time finding a better wine for the money. The balance of various appellations works so well here. The Caterwaul Napa Valley bottling might just be the finest wine in the market in its price range.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

Is this Thomas Rivers Brown’s hottest Napa Cabernet project? With serious chops from partner Matt Hardin (partner at Barbour Vineyard Management), between the two of them they have access to some of the best Napa has to offer. What a price! We only have 15 cases to offer...

To quote Jeb Dunnuck...”the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon should be snatched up by savvy readers.”

Exactly! If you love the “TRB style” (Schrader, Rivers-Marie, Maybach, Revana, and many more), you should be ALL OVER this! It's pure, intensely...PURPLE...packed with lush cassis fruit and black berries that are terrifically enjoyable right now, amazingly so. This really has it all and punches well above its weight. Here’s the rest of JD’s writeup: “a winner, offering classic Cabernet notes of ripe dark fruits, tobacco, chocolate, and candied violets. Rich and full-bodied, it has a light, elegant texture, terrific tannins, and a great finish. I suspect it's a knock-it-out-of-the-park value and it should evolve for a solid 15 years.”

A no-brainer at $49.95! While it lasts!
