Wine Enthusiast, 96 Points 

"From a Rutherford site, this 100% varietal, estate wine is aged similarly to the producer’s fine Martha’s Vineyard bottling, given plenty of time in new and neutral oak as well as in bottle. Beguiling spice and a warmth of red fruit provide tangy freshness around lengthy layers of salty oak, iron and baked plum." 

Wine Spectator, 94 Points 

"Juicy, with an engaging mix of red currant, blood orange and raspberry coulis fruit, laced with rooibos tea, mineral, sassafras and mineral notes. Ripe and tightly focused, showing a racy edge that imparts nice lift from start to finish. Best from 2020 through 2035." 

Decanter, 93 Points 

"Elegant yet dense concentrated nose of sweet blackberries, fine oak and complex black fruit flavours. Ripe and forward on the palate." 

Wine & Spirits, 92 Points 

"From an organically farmed estate vineyard in eastern Rutherford, between the Silverado Trail and Conn Creek, this is a complex and mature cabernet ready to drink on release. The tight structure marries gentle tannins and kirsch-like cherry fruit while the secondary aromas of cigar tobacco and roses last long into the finish. It’s a refined style, with enough luscious fruit to keep it firmly rooted in Napa Valley."
