Tasting Notes
The Tusk Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is a seamless expression of power and polish, crafted from select hillside vineyards across Napa Valley. It opens with intense aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, graphite, cedar, and crushed violets, intertwined with dark chocolate, espresso, and warm spices. On the palate, it is sumptuous and layered, showing remarkable texture and depth, framed by silky tannins and a long, graceful finish. Each sip reveals precision, finesse, and restrained opulence — a hallmark of Tusk’s artisanal winemaking.
Vintage Highlights
The 2018 growing season in Napa Valley was cool, even, and exceptionally long, producing grapes of perfect physiological ripeness and balance. Winemaker Philippe Melka, one of the world’s foremost Cabernet specialists, blended fruit from the estate’s prime Oakville sites to craft a wine of seamless integration and purity. Aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak, the result is structured yet seductive, capable of aging effortlessly for decades.

Founded by Michael Uytengsu, Tim Martin, and Philippe Melka, the winery produces only a few hundred cases per year — each bottle individually numbered and presented in handcrafted packaging. With its impeccable balance, luxurious texture, and near-perfect critical acclaim, the 2018 vintage stands as a testament to Napa’s elite tier of collectible wines, placing Tusk among icons like Screaming Eagle and Harlan Estate.
