Immortal Impassable Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma 2017
Immortal Impassable Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma 2017
The Immortal Cabernet Sauvignon Impassable Mountain 2017 is a remarkable expression from the steep, rugged Hidden Ridge vineyard in Sonoma, known for its challenging terrain. This vintage showcases a rich and powerful profile, with deep flavors of dark fruits and hints of tobacco and minerality. The wine is full-bodied, exhibiting a luxurious texture complemented by fresh acidity and robust tannins. It embodies a modern style reminiscent of Napa Valley opulence, making it perfect for aging. The fruit was carefully harvested before the October fires, ensuring quality from this limited-production site. This wine is a stunning representation of its powerful Cabernet heritage.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Impassable Mountain is also brilliant, and while a monster of a wine as well, it brings slightly more elegance and purity. Black cherries, blackberries, currants, tobacco, chalky minerality, tobacco, and lead pencil notes all emerge from the glass, and it's full-bodied, with plenty of chocolatey oak, notable freshness, and a great, great finish. It's certainly not for those seeking Bordeaux-like delicacy or lightweight aromas and flavors, but it brings a Napa-like sense of opulence and decadence. Give it 3-4 years and enjoy over the following two decades.
