James Suckling, 93 Points
"A very polished Cabernet sauvignon with currants, chocolate, and hazelnut. It’s medium- to full-bodied with silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Very long. The texture and flavor stays with you for a long time. One for the cellar but fun to taste. Best after 2025."
Wine Spectator, 90 Points
"Juicy and direct, with a good blast of fun raspberry and boysenberry compote notes, laced with red licorice and fruitcake hints. Shows the brambly/toothy finish of the vintage, so drink in the middle term while the fruit has the upper hand. Drink now through 2030. 57,889 cases made."
Winemaker Notes:
"A lovely deep saturated ruby color, this Cabernet opens with a vibrant nose of black raspberry, blackcurrant and blackberry preserves alongside delicate hints of violet. On the palate, ripe dark plum, black cherry, classic redcurrant and hibiscus flower support savory Chaparral sagebrush notes of lavender and Bay Laurel, while the fruit remains bright and boisterous, enveloping the mouth with a medium to full body and lip-smacking appeal. The texture is soft and silky with velvety-rich tannins that provide a nice grip and firmness with good depth and balance. Concluding with a refined and polished character, the finish is long and sumptuous with an enchanting seductive character."
