Kinsman Eades Cabernet Sauvignon La Voleuse Du Chagrin Geeslin Vineyard Calistoga 2018

Reviews

99 -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -

A new addition to the Kinsman Eades lineup, the fruit for this wine comes from Geeslin vineyard, which is based in Calistoga, off Pickett Road and next to Eisele vineyard. The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon La Voleuse du Chagrin is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Very deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with vibrant notions of red and black currants, black cherries and wild blueberries plus hints of candied violets, dark chocolate, Sichuan pepper and forest floor. The full-bodied palate has fantastic concentration and depth, supported by a taut structure of wonderfully ripe, velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with epic length. Seductively opulent and beautifully poised, this is one of the most exciting new single-vineyard expressions out of Napa Valley in recent years and well worth seeking out! 203 cases were made.

A new wine in this range, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon La Voleuse du Chagrin emerges from a tiny prcel in Calistoga that was once considered part of Eisele Vineyard and that went into that wine for many years. The 2018 is a powerful, explosive wine that announces its presence with sweeping, dramatic grandeur. Layers of dark fruit, smoke, chocolate, espresso, menthol and graphite fill out the layers effortlessly. The tannins feel huge, even though the Voleuse has the lowest tannins of the three 2018s in this lineup. No matter, the 2018 is a deeply moving wine of statuesque beauty. Don't miss it.

98 -Jeb Dunnuck -

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon La Voleuse Du Chagrin is a beauty and just about pure perfection in a glass. Brought up in 70% new French oak, it has an inky purple color as well as a deep, powerful, full-bodied style that also carries a wonderful sense of weightlessness and finesse. Blackcurrants, truffles, liquid violets, chocolate, and tobacco are just some of its nuances, and it's complex, with a layered, elegant mouthfeel and beautiful tannins. An incredibly complex, satisfying, oh-so-impressive 2018, it's going to benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age (you'd be forgiven for opening one sooner) and will have 20-25 years of overall longevity.

96 -Wine Spectator -

Packed with a mix of red and black currant and blackberry fruit flavors that range from compote to coulis in feel, while vibrant licorice snap, roasted apple wood and violet notes fill in throughout. There's a serious loamy tug through the finish, along with a racy acidity that lends this well-built wine an air of freshness to boot. Best from 2022 through 2038. 203 cases made.
