95 points Jonathan Cristaldi (Decanter): "Aged 18 months in 71% new Tonnellerie Sylvain barrels, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon offers fragrant aromas of red currants, bay leaf, and sage that mingle with sweet cocoa nibs and brown baking spices. A silky plush layer of red-toned fruit coats the palate, while a dusting of powdery tannins adds complexity. The finish is laced with green tobacco and herbs. Drinking Window: 2023-2036. (5/4/23)"
95 points/'Editors' Choice,' Wine Enthusiast: "This is structured, complex, dense and lengthy, a celebration of dark berry fruit that is layered and velvety smooth on the palate. Tobacco, oak and dried herb accent it with ease, complementing and contrasting in myriad ways and landing on a sophisticated finish. Alcohol 14.3%. (May 2022)"
93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a gorgeous introduction to the vintage at Larkmead. Pliant and supple, the Cabernet offers tons of near term appeal. Sweet red cherry, red plum, pomegranate, spice and blood orange infuse the 2019 with layers of nuance and complexity. Best of all the 2019 will drink well with minimal cellaring. Drink: 2024-2034.(Jan 2022)"
93 points James Suckling: "Currants and berries with flowers. Raspberries, too. Medium to full body with medium tannins and a juicy, fruity finish. Soft and delicious to drink now. Drink or hold. (2/7/22)"
92+ Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): "Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon (White Label) features fragrant notes of red and black plums, lavender and mossy tree bark, over a core of cassis and boysenberries. The medium to full-bodied palate is refreshing and vibrant, delivering an approachable texture and herbal lift on the finish. Drink: 2022-2036. (Nov 2021)"
92 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon sports a ruby/plum hue to go with medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of dried herbs, loamy earth, chocolate, and tobacco, as well as both red and black fruits. It’s another elegant, medium to full-bodied wine offering ripe tannins, good overall balance, and outstanding length. (May 2022)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "[$125 list] Leads with light sage and alder accents, followed by gently steeped red and black currant fruit laced with licorice root and warm earth. Shows good juicy energy through the finish. Drink now through 2032. 1,696 cases made. (10/31/22)"
