The first release of this new iconoclastic label, the 2018 Quantum Bin 98 is labeled as a 'Wine of the World,' although the AVA is the United States and technically 87% is American wine (Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley), while 13% is Australian ('Grade A1' Shiraz from South Australia). The wine spent 16 months in oak, 100% new, 80% American oak and 20% French. In fact, the wine is made very much like Grange, in that it completes fermentation in new, mainly American oak barrels.Blackberry jam, bittersweet chocolate, espresso, licorice, cloves and gravel infuse the 2018 has tons of character and complexity. Dense and opulent to the core, the Bin 98 possesses tremendous intensity. 98 points James Suckling
