It is a barrel-select blend encompassing all The Debate’s single vineyards of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. This year, 62% of the blend is Cabernet Franc, coming from Sleeping Lady, Beckstoffer To Kalon and Stagecoach vineyards. The 38% Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Artalade, Sacrache and Denali vineyards. Very deep purple-black, it needs a fair bit of swirling and coaxing to begin to unlock fragrant scents of ripe black and red currants, black raspberries, chocolate-covered cherries and mulberries with suggestions of pencil lead, cedar chest, black olives and lavender with a waft of fallen leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is jam-packed with crunchy red and black berry flavors, supported by firm, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and earthy. It will need a good 5-7 years in bottle to really begin to strut its stuff and should cellar for a further 30+ years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"first odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eWine Spectator\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"first odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eBurghound\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"first odd\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003eVarietal\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003eCabernet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003eVintage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003e2018\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003eRating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003e98 RP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003e1500 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003eBottle Quantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003eCalifornia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003eLocation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003eNorth Coast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003eProducer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003eThe Debate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"height: 19px;\"\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"last odd\" style=\"height: 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\" style=\"height: 12px;\"\u003eProduction\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\" style=\"height: 12px;\"\u003ecases\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e","brand":"GOODMAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43437052559491,"sku":"DEBATEULTIMATE2018-MAG","price":425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/9864\/7939\/files\/2018-the-debate-ultimate-cabernet-magnum-1500ml-717.webp?v=1770279635","url":"https:\/\/cultwine.com\/zh\/products\/2018-debate-the-ultimate-cabernet-magnum-1500ml","provider":"CultWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
