    Critical Acclaim

    WS 92
    Wine Spectator
    Very solid, featuring a direct beam of cassis and plum fruit, inlaid with singed anise and sassafras notes. Offers a light tug of warm earth on the finish, with the fruit staying in control. Shows latent grip. Drink now through 2031.
    WA 93
    Wine Advocate
    The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is a blend of 98.6% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1.4% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it bursts from the glass with bombastic crème de cassis, black cherry compote and plum preserves scents plus hints of chocolate mint, cedar chest, lavender and rose hip tea with a waft of cloves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is jam-packed with vibrant, youthful black fruits, framed by firm, grainy tannins and loads of freshness, finishing long and fruity.
    JD 92
    Jeb Dunnuck
    The flagship 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a great vintage in Napa and reveals a deep purple hue as well as classic notes of blackcurrants, tobacco, cedarwood, and violets. Medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, with plenty of mid-palate depth and some chewy tannins, it's a beautiful, outstanding wine that needs 3-4 years of bottle age and will keep for 15-20.
    JS 94
    James Suckling
    Lots of blackberries, chocolate and hazelnuts on the nose and palate here. It’s full-bodied, yet tense and structured with lovely balance of fruit and tannins. Drinkable now, but better after 2022.
    WAS 92
    Wine & Spirits
    More about moonlight than sunlight, this wine has cool bass notes of tannins under dark shades of mushrooms, carrot tops and black-fruit intensity. It’s earthy, savory and bold, a wine for roast wild boar.
