Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2014 Ramey "Pedregal" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon (97JD, 96RP, 95DC, 94VN). Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Pedregal Vineyard is a dead ringer for a great vintage of Ducru-Beaucaillou. Pure crème de cassis, graphite, smoked earth, and tobacco leaf notes all flow to a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon that exudes class, elegance, and purity, all while still carrying serious depth and richness. Made from 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Petit Verdot, it has ripe tannin, impeccable balance and a great finish, all promising a long life." (06/2018)

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Pedregal Vineyard opens with beautiful lilac, chocolate box and unsmoked cigars scents over a core of cassis, black cherries and preserved plums with wafts of menthol and wood smoke. Full-bodied and packed to the gills with ripe, expressive black fruits and savory layers, it has a firm frame of grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing with fantastic persistence. Drink 2019 - 2045. (LPB)

From a site in eastern Oakville, the Pedregal bottling bursts with ripe cassis, blackberry and plum alongside dark chocolate. Like the Annum, it is rich, supple and broad, but it's tannins are even more silky; its texture more plush and expansive. Drinking Window 2020 - 2040 (WK)

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Pedregal Vineyard is a classic wine from the Eastern Hills of Oakville. Pliant, supple and radiant in the glass, the 2014 offers superb depth and textural richness. The dark cherry, plum, espresso, licorice and floral notes all blossom in an effortless, sumptuous Cabernet endowed with personality and class. The 2014 will be easy to drink with minimal cellaring. Today, it is fabulous. (AG)
