97 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "This vintage is profound and beautiful. The 2016 Cabernet Franc Duemani shows deep layers of fruit, with levels of crunchiness and complexity that make it memorable. The mouthfeel is silky, long and rich. The maturity of the fruit here is perfect. In terms of appearance, the wine is dark and impenetrable. All around, this Duemani is an extremely tight, focused and elegant expression of Cabernet Franc. Drink: 2019-2040. (May 2019)"
97 points Falstaff: "Rich ruby red with light garnet shimmer. Opens with fine savoury notes of cinnamon and ginger, then dark currant and elderberry. On the palate earthy and seems to float on a fine savoury carpet with juicy fruit, opening with vivid, dense tannin and full drive on the finish. Alcohol 14%. (8/29/19)"
97 points James Suckling: "A layered and rich cabernet franc with tobacco, blackberries, bark and licorice. Full body, very fine tannins that are polished with beautiful fruit and a long, long finish. Shows muscle yet polish. Needs four or five years to soften. Drink in 2023. (12/17/18)"
95 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "[$196 list] The 2016 Duemani is a powerful and explosive wine. Dark red cherry, tobacco, cedar, plum, dried flowers, leather and licorice all race out of the glass as this rich, dense Cabernet Franc shows off its personality. Aged 20 months in French oak, the 2016 is a wine of great power and density. I would prefer to drink it on the young side, to take advantage of the wine's superb depth and intensity. This is an outstanding vintage for the Duemani. Drink: 2020-2028. (Mar 2020)"
