Wine Spectator 90 Points: A ripe, polished and direct style, with cassis, blackberry and red cherry puree gliding through, inlaid with light mocha and vanilla accents through the finish. Drink now through 2028. -- James MolesworthJeb Dunnuck.
James Suckling 90 Points: Also terrific, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is an outstanding wine that shines for its balance and purity. Clean currant and subtle cassis fruits, notes of tobacco and cedar, medium-bodied richness, and polished tannins all make this a delicious, high-quality effort to enjoy over the coming 5-7 years or so. -- Jeb DunnuckJames Suckling 92 points Aromas of wet stone, gravel and blackcurrant. Full-bodied with fine, velvety tannins. Juicy, bright and fresh. Lovely dark fruit, with gravel and wet-stone notes adding very nice definition. Chocolate finish. Drink or hold.
