Tasting Panel, 94 Points 

"Cabernet Sauvignon (84%), Merlot (14%), and Cab Franc (2%) were sourced from the winery’s St. Helena estate vineyard at the base of Spring Mountain. Aged 18 months in (85% new) French oak, this is a woodsy wine, with black olive and herbal accents of sage and dried lavender. Dense and concentrated, elevated and elegant, with a skyscraper-like structure." 

Wine Spectator, 93 Points 

"This is streamlined in feel despite the obvious power here, thanks to a bright mineral and sanguine spine that courses underneath the mix of plum, cassis and cherry reduction flavors. Roasted applewood note through the finish adds energy. Rock solid. Drink now through 2031." 

James Suckling, 92 Points 

"Aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, dried leaves, cocoa powder, walnuts and peppercorns. Medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins and vivid acidity. Fresh and crunchy with a savory finish. Drink from 2022." 

Wine & Spirits, 92 Points 

"A burst of red-cherry flavor introduces this clean, fragrant cabernet. There’s nothing superripe or hyperextracted about it. The wine feels fresh and friendly, the tannins expressed in floral hints of beebalm and savory conifer notes to gentle their ferrous structure. It tastes like well-grown cabernet and has the stamina to age."
