96 points Kenna Wells (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon is lighter in color and tannic intensity than the 2020 tasted beside it. No surprise for the vintages that birthed these wines. The latter was sunny, hot and dry, while the 2021 season was decidedly cooler, with more cloud cover and rain. This wine bears the fruits of the diligent labor in the vineyards and is one of the shining lights in the region this year. There are notes of raspberry and nori, moss and petrichor, blood and forest floor. This is a lighter style of Cabernet—and a lovely one at that. Drink 2025-2041. (03/13/25)."

96 points Jane Faulkner (Wine Companion): "One of the distinctive features of this wine, and in a way a DNA link to all Art Series cabernet, is its savouriness. It’s the rolled tobacco, nori, iodine and whiff of new leather plus the cedary oak, but these are not separate, they form a whole impression. There’s also the core of excellent fruit, the structure, the supple tannins and the bright acidity. And the joy of drinking it. (08/08/24)."

95 points James Suckling: "The nose is perfumed and lifted, showing aromas of blackcurrants, boysenberries, cedar, tobacco leaves and graphite. The full-bodied palate has finely integrated tannins and focused acidity, giving complex notes of mulberries, wild blackberries, mocha and spices. Wonderfully balanced and fresh with an underlying power. Drink or hold. Screw cap. (10/16/24)."

94 points Cassandra Charlick (Decanter): "Tightly bound nose, with good-quality oak wrapping cedar and spice around the fruit core. Salted plum, purple fruits, red berries, rosehip, rose florals, salted liquorice and crushed aniseed. Fruit is pert, fine and nimble, with chalky tannins, lithe acidity and graphite minerality. Time will reveal the underlying structure and strength. Drink 2024-2045. (06/07/24)."
