35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot) deftly plays upon the elegance and fruity brightness of the growing season

Keever Inspirado 2018 Dry firm and youthfully austere finaleChecking in as 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, the 2018 Inspirado offers a beautiful perfume of blue fruits, violets, tobacco, and earth. This carries to a full bodied 2018 with a supple, elegant texture, beautiful balance, and enough structure and tannins to evolve for a solid 15 years or so. It's not the most complex wine out there, but it offers serious Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon bang for the buck! 92 points Jeb
