James Suckling 95
The blackcurrants and violets are impressive on the nose with hints of slate. Full-bodied, yet always refined and in check. Linear and tight. Black olives and blue fruit at the finish.

This might be my favorite Cab
"This is a very well made Cab. The family takes wine making very seriously and this wine shows what happens when people really know what they are doing. A nose of stone fruits with a somewhat smokey note. the finish is slightly fig and black currants. I would rate this at 90 couple points."

Very Good, But...
"IMO, it doesn't match the overall depth of the 2 previous vintages '16 and '17. Good fruit and nice balance, but a weak finish and indistinct tannins."
Our new go to favorite
"Pours out with a deep violet, purple depth with slightly smoky fruity complexity that balloons as it breathes. Has a lovely finish. Indeed, as expert reviews suggested, the taste is full bodied and refined. Compares well with the Stags Leap districts cabs that we love at a reasonable price. Very interested to see if complexity increases with age."
