94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Lots of toast, lead pencil, graphite, and darker currants emerge from the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Bully, which reminds me of a great Pauillac, only on steroids. Based on 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, all from Red Mountain, it’s full-bodied, has building tannins, lots of mid-palate depth, and a great finish. Drink it over the coming10-15 years. Drink: 2021-2036. (5/6/21)"
93 points Wine Spectator: "[$60 list] Precise and potently structured, with expressive blackberry, toasty spice and flinty mineral accents that build tension toward broad-shouldered tannins. Best from 2022 through 2030. (10/15/21)"
91 points Wine Enthusiast: "Aromas of barrel spice, plum, café au lait and cherry lead to full-bodied, plentiful, juicy espresso, chocolate and cherry flavors. Fine-grained tannins back it all up. It's made in the winery's unabashed, full-bore style. (Dec 2021)"
90+ points Anthony Mueller (Wine Advocate): "Big, bold and brooding, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Bully boosts a juicy, spicy and oaky nose that overflows from the glass with hedonistic generosity. Full-bodied and with 100% new French oak, the palate offers a touch of volatility that seems to work across the mid-palate with elements of tar and scorched violets before offering up flavors of chocolate-covered blueberries and wild black cherry syrup. The wine continues to a long, expanding finish with flavors of Chambord. Drink: 2021-2026. (10/14/21)"
