Jeb Dunnuck, 98 Points 

"Mostly Clone 4 Cabernet Sauvignon with 6% Cabernet Franc, all from a site next to To Kalon, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Coeur De Vallée offers lots of darker currant and black cherry fruits as well as notes of cedary spice, new leather, and dried herbs. These carry to a full-bodied, concentrated, incredibly complex Oakville Cabernet with sweet tannins, a great mid-palate, and one heck of a finish. Drink it over the coming 20-25 years." 

Wine Advocate, 95 Points 

"The first vintage produced entirely from the family's own Oakville vineyard, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Coeur de Vallee boasts dark aromas and flavors of cassis, loam and mocha. Full-bodied, rich and velvety, it flows easily across the palate, easing into a soft, plush finish." 

Vinous, 95 Points 

"The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Cœur de Vallée is soft, racy and gracious. It presents gorgeous savory aromatics to play off its mid-weight structure and understated personality. Black cherry, mocha, leather, spice and menthol grace this understated Cabernet. This soft, open-knit Cabernet is already quite accessible and delicious."
