Scores & Accolades

95“The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Marston Vineyard is sensual, delicate and nuanced. Red berry fruit, bright acids and blood orange open in the glass, all framed by silky Spring Mountain tannins that give the wine its super-finessed personality.”- Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2021
-
93+“Coming from Spring Mountain and 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Marston Vineyard reveals a dense purple hue as well as a meaty, powerful bouquet of plum and currant fruits, bouquet garni, smoked herbs, and chocolate. This is a rich, nicely concentrated, structured mountain Cabernet with medium to full body, a layered, textured mouthfeel, and ripe yet certainly present tannins. It’s going to benefit from a handful of years in the cellar and should evolve gracefully for 15+.”- JebDunnuck.com, January 28, 2021

93“This has a fragrant nose of blueberries, pine needles, violets, cloves and black olives. Iodine notes, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Beautiful freshness and energy, leading to a precise finish.” - JamesSuckling.com, January 2021
Vintage
The 2018 vintage proved to be of high quality and produced above average yields. The year began with abundant rainfall throughout the winter. Spring weather was mild, with bud break and flowering occurring later than usual but under ideal conditions. This resulted in plentiful and an even fruit set throughout the growing season. Summer brought generous sunshine days along with the typical cool, marine influenced evenings and early mornings. The relatively mild summer, with no major heat spikes, created near-ideal conditions to allow the grapes generous hang time to achieve optimum flavor complexity and a gradual rise in sugar level.Vineyard
Marston Vineyard perches on the slopes of Spring Mountain to the west of St. Helena, just a few miles uphill from the site of the Beringer brothers’ original St. Helena Home vineyard. The restrictive soil, mostly stony loam, produces grapes with highly developed fruit flavors. Within the vineyard, the terrain rises to approximately 1200 feet, varying between steep, terraced slopes to gently rolling land. Careful attention is paid to vineyard blocks, which are kept separate and vinified with a goal of extracting maximum flavor.
