96 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): "The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with 7% Cabernet Franc, 4% Carmenere, and 2% Petit Verdot, is deep garnet-purple in color. It leaps with vibrant scents of wild blueberries, redcurrant jelly, and warm cassis plus hints of underbrush, pencil shavings, and bay leaves. The full-bodied palate is lively and fine-grained, with bags of bright fruit and a fragrant lift on the finish of this impressive wine. Alcohol 14.5%. Drink: 2023-2040. (8/21/23)"
95 points Jane Anson: "(87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 4% Carmenère, 2% Petit Verdot). Before even taking a sip, the fragrant rosemary, fennel and rose petal aromatics take you into a nuanced and characterful Napa. Concentarated, earthy Rutherford dust, with silky tannins that float off the palate and carry you from beginning to end. Not easy to achieve this level of balance in the intensity of the 2020 vintage. Rodrigo Soto director, winemaker Rebekah Wineberg, consultant Michel Rolland, 60% new oak for ageing. Alcohol 14.5%. Drink: 2027-2040. (7/3/23)"
94 points James Suckling: "A lovely red with a pretty core of currants, berries, spices and mushrooms. Medium to full body, layers of polished tannins and a juicy finish. A very balanced and fine wine. A little chewy. Drink or hold. (9/14/22)"
