95 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "Sourced from both the Montana and the Dakota estate, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Anakota Knights Valley is focused and pretty in its aromatics, with dusty earth, currant liqueur, and crushed flowers. The palate is layered, with seamless, well-integrated structure, notes of plum candy and violets, and a soft stone mineral finish. Drink it over the next 15 years, but it will be tough not to drink this now. Drink: 2022-2037. (8/2/22)"
95 points James Suckling: "Bright pure-grape character with citrus and blackberry aromas and flavors. Medium body, fine and fresh tannins with lemony and stony undertones. White volcanic-stone minerality. A new second wine from Anakota. Drink or hold. (4/7/22)"
94 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley, blended with 3% Petit Verdot, has a deep ruby-purple color and alluring aromas of black cherries, blueberries, thyme, aniseed and violet with touches of tobacco leaves and cedar. The medium-bodied palate has smooth, finely grained tannins and bright acidity, finishing long and floral. Its new French oak is integrating gracefully, and its bright, aromatic character makes this ideal for early drinking. Drink: 2022-2032. (Jul 2022)"
93 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon has 3% Petit Verdot in the blend. Deep garnet-purple in color, it springs from the glass with notes of black raspberries, blackcurrant pastilles, and kirsch notes, plus suggestions of cinnamon stick, dried mint, red roses, and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers intense, muscular fruit with a solid backbone of firm, grainy, and approachable tannins matched by lovely freshness, finishing with long-lingering earthy nuances. Alcohol 14.5%. Drink: 2023-2038. (6/8/22)"
