2018 Passing Time Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon Washington MAGNUM

(96 Points) Discovery Cabernet makes up a full half of this wine, with the rest from Champoux (41%) and The Benches. Blended with 9% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, this wine is locked up tightly out of the gate, with notes of dried herb, coffee, black cherry leaf, spice, bittersweet chocolate and scorched earth. The flavors are bold and rich, with oodles of sophistication. There's impressive layering, midpalate density and structure. The finish is eternal. Full of intensity, sophistication and grace, it's one for the ages. — Sean P. Sullivan
