The 2018 Inspirado Red Blend is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 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).
