95 points/'Cellar Selection' Wine Enthusiast: "[$140 list] This powerful, intense and firmly textured wine waves the flag for great Sonoma-grown Cabernet. It wraps fine-grained tannins around just-ripe black fruit flavors and tempting oak accents of cinnamon, char and clove. Not overly ripe, the wine shows great balance and should expect a long life. Best from 2028–2038. Alcohol 14.9%. (Nov 2023)"
95 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "From vines planted in 2003 at Gundlach Bundschu’s La Paz Estate, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage Reserve is the current release of this cuvée. It was blended with 9% Cabernet Franc and 6% Malbec. The nose is bursting with detailed aromas of dark cherries and plums, camphor, rooibos tea and well-integrated new oak spice from its 18-month maturation in 70% new French oak. The full-bodied palate is powerfully styled with concentrated, perfumed flavors, luxurious, powdery tannins, lively acidity and a long, dynamic finish. Drink: 2025-2040. (Aug 2025)"
