Vinous, 91-94 Points 

"Jaimee Motley's 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Peter Martin Ray is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Rich and layered in the glass, the 2018 has that extra kick of mid-palate density and volume that the 2017 doesn't, the result of a far more even and favorable growing season. Dark plum, mint, lavender, spice and dried herbs all develop with a bit of air, but it is the wine's balance that is most compelling. The 50% whole clusters are barely perceptible. What a wine..." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Jaimee Motley is undoubtedly one of California’s most exciting up-and-coming winemakers. Her careful attention to detail and passion for responsibly-farmed fruit lead to some of the most energetic, delicious, and site-specific wines we’ve had from the Golden State. This varietal Cabernet is juicy, earth-driven, and loaded with flavors of red and black fruits, freshly cut herbs, wild sage, and sweet spice. For a guaranteed crowdpleaser, look no further than this wine."
