92 POINTS - "Concentrated aromas of plum and earth; refined and lush with rich flavors of plum, spice, earth, and toast. Tangy, classic, and immediately likable yet carefully built to last." - Tasting Panel
91 POINTS - "A barrel sample blended of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is deep purple-black in color and features open-knit notions of crushed blueberries, black cherries and red and black currants with suggestions of pencil shavings and tilled soil. Medium to full bodied, the palate gives a great concentration of earth-laced black fruits with a pleasantly chewy finish." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
90 POINTS - "Rich and approachable, this wine has a velvety concentration of plum and dark berry alongside a touch of herbaceousness. With a soft midpalate, it soothes its way to a finish of firm tannins and lasting oak." - Wine Enthusiast

This wine is a serious expression of Napa Valley, showing classic dark, rich, blackberry and red cherry notes followed by savory, peppercorn characters that also highlight the signature of the varietal. Aromas of blackberries, leather, cedar, peppercorn, and a touch of vanilla are met on the palate with rich and racy dark plum and strawberries and hints of toasted nuts and cocoa powder.
