91 points and 'Cellar Selection,' Wine Enthusiast: "[$100/750ml list] Sourced primarily from Stagecoach Vineyard on Atlas Peak and blended with a small amount of Oakville Vineyard grapes, this is a blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Cabernet Franc, with small percentages of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Big, tannic and overpowering in its youth, it reveals hints of cedar, pencil shavings and sage, with a rich black-cherry core. Enjoy 2023–2033. Alcohol 14.5%. (Mar 2018)"
91 points Decanter: "Many Napa wineries have been funded by Silicon Valley fortunes, but few name their top wines after a brand of software. Oracle is the exception. It's a Bordeaux-style blend, with 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc, and 17% Merlot. The nose is juicy and oaky, with blackcurrant and blackberry aromas. The attack is initially silky, but there are bold tannins behind the fruit. It's chewy but not too assertive, and is not yet harmonious. But there's fine potential here. Drink 2020-2038 (Mar 2018)"
Producer notes: "57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc, 17% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec. Miner Family’s flagship wine, a full-bodied, single vineyard red blend, grants a nod toward elegance for the 2013 vintage. This Bordeaux-style blend is silky, reserved and supremely balanced. Lush aromatics of raspberry and dark cherry with a hint of eucalyptus, The Oracle is decadent, but with finesse. Earthiness and layers of dried flowers and cocoa integrate harmoniously into a finely balanced marriage between tannin and acid, providing the structure that ensures, like all impeccable beauties, this wine is sure to age gracefully."
