94+ points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): "The 2016 The Oracle has a deep garnet-black color and perfumed nose of roses and lilacs with kirsch, tea, earth, cassis and black cherries scents. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant, fresh and juicy with a firm frame of grainy tannins, finishing long and minerally. Drink: 2018-2036. (Dec 2018)"

93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The flagship 2016 Red Blend The Oracle is a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Cabernet Franc, 17% Merlot, and the balance Malbec and Petit Verdot. It's slightly deeper colored than the Oakville Cabernet and gives up plenty of red and black fruits, spicy oak, tobacco, and graphite. A big step up on the richness scale, it still has beautiful purity and elegance as well as fine tannins, terrific balance, and a great finish. Drink it any time over the coming two decades. Drink: 2019-2039. (1/31/19)"
