99 Points & Double Gold Medal, Sunset International Wine Competition
96 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): "[$150 list] The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, 7% Malbec, 6% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. It has a deep garnet-purple color and delivers intense, vivacious black cherries, warm blackcurrants and blackberries scents with touches of garrigue, cigar box, underbrush and lavender. Full-bodied and packed with generous flavors of crushed black berries with oodles of earthy sparks, it has a rock-solid line of grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing very long and savory. Drink: 2019-2038. (Oct 2018)"
94+ points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon (75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, 7% Malbec, 6% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc) is another inky colored effort and offers impressive blue fruits, cassis, graphite, and charcoal aromas and flavors. It's concentrated, stays slightly more restrained and elegant on the palate compared to the Legend cuvée, has ripe yet present tannins, and a beautiful finish. It's another serious wine from this estate. Drink: 2021-2041. (Jan 2019)"
94 points/'Cellar Selection,' Wine Enthusiast: "Blended with 11% Petit Verdot and small amounts of Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this is a substantially powerful, integrated and complex red that's aged in both French and Hungarian oak. Immensely herbal, it offers seductive spice tones of clove and tobacco, with blue and red fruit lifted by underlying acidity. Enjoy from 2026–2031. (Dec 2020)"
93 points James Suckling: "Gorgeous aromas of blueberries, blackberries and flowers follow through to a medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Shows depth and finesse. Drink in 2020. (11/19/18)"
