The Beverage Tasting Institute awarded it a Gold Medal Exceptional Cellar Selection with a score of 93 points.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate awarded 93 points.

“Very deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon features bold notions of crème de cassis, blueberry compote and blackberry pie plus nuances of tar, unsmoked cigars, beef drippings and garrigue with a waft of lavender. The medium to full-bodied palate has a rock-solid structure of firm grainy tannins and lovely freshness lifting the dense, muscular black fruit and earthy layers to a long, mineral-tinged finish.”

James Suckling awarded 92 points.

“Fresh black cherry, blackberry leaf, iodine and bark on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with powerful, fine-grained tannins.  Fresh and structured with focused fruit and spice flavors. Needs a couple of years. Try from 2022.”
