CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Decanter - "The full-bodied palate is marked by persistent tannins and a satisfying finish revealing notes of earth, river stones, dried herbs and a spine of acidity."


James Suckling - "Soft around the edges and firm in the middle, this red- and black-fruited wine has a creaminess on the palate, delivering a mix of red cherries, blackberries and blueberries wrapped in moderate tannins. Contains small amounts of petit verdot, cabernet franc, malbec and merlot. "


Jeb Dunnuck - "The classic 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is outstanding, with a more black fruit-driven profile as well as some violet and scorched earth nuances. Aged 18 months in 32% new French oak, it's medium to full-bodied, has a lifted, perfumed profile, supple tannins, and a great finish. "
