92 points James Suckling: "An attractive, fresh and expressive nose with plenty of violet-flower fragrance and lightly spicy oak, coloring the ripe berries. The palate has a succulent, focused and flavorful core of fresh, red and dark-berry flavors. Drink or hold. (3/27/19)"

91 points Wine Spectator: "Rich, ripe and filled with luscious dark fruit and spice flavors, including kirsch, plum and cherry, turning creamy midpalate. Medium-grained tannins show on the finish, which is filled with dark chocolate and mocha hints. Drink now through 2023. 2,500 cases made, 560 cases imported. (6/30/19)"

90 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The creamy and spicy 2018 Año Cero Cabernet Sauvignon seemed to have a little more influence from the élevage in oak barrels (only one-third of the wine for ten months) than its siblings. It has varietal notes, balsamic and herbal, with blackberry aromas and an austere palate with serious tannins. It felt a bit austere compared with the others. It needs food. Drink: 2020-2023. (Oct 2019)"
