96 points James Suckling: "Cloves, dark fruit, leather and savory complexity. Youthful, velvety tannins with crisp acidity, a full body and a spicy finish full of blond tobacco and coffee grounds. Drinkable after a year or two, but best from 2031. (7/11/24)"
95 points Raffaele Vecchione (WinesCritic.com): "Rich and sleek in the sensory profile it shows notes of black plums, wild myrtle, lavender, hibiscus, green mandarin peel and toasted hazelnuts. Full body, perfectly ripe tannins and a finish of great grace and personality. Simply stunning. Drink now or age. (Aug 2024)"
94 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "Made with Cabernet Sauvignon, the Mazzei 2021 Philip is soft and richly textured with all sorts of blackberry and black fruit aromas packed inside. These come through with special intensity in this balanced vintage. The wine style is contemporary and easily accessible for an international palate. Philip Mazzei (1730–1816) was a contemporary of Thomas Jefferson, and this 40,000-bottle release is dedicated to this important family ancestor. Drink: 2024-2035. (7/25/24)"
94 points Danielle Callegari (Wine Enthusiast): "Aromas of black cherry and pepper add a bolt of energy to a nose that's otherwise defined by umami, savory notes of top soil, dark chocolate and coffee grinds. The palate is layers of blackberries, chocolate and more black cherries, but that peppery earthiness also endures. Carefully constructed, fine-grained tannins tame an electric current of acid on the finish. (Dec 2024)"
93 points Falstaff Guide: "Brilliant dark ruby red. Intense nose of juicy plum, cherry, ripe raspberries, as well as some cold smoke and leather. Juicy on the palate, with well-defined fruit and acidity, great spice in the harmonious finish. (Feb 2024)"
92 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Philip, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, is a fine effort from the Mazzei family. Dried herbs, lavender, sage, mint and licorice play off a core of blue and purplish fruit. There's plenty to like— that’s for sure—but at the same time, the Cabernet suffers in comparison to Mazzei's superb set of Sangiovese-based wines. Drink: 2025-2036. (Jul 2024)"
