Vina Robles Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles 2018

91 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$26 list] Aromas of roasted black cherry, fig, caramel and milk chocolate make for a rich and gooey entry to the nose of this appellation blend. Lavish, creamy and smooth tannins frame the sip, where roasted plum, fig and raisin flavors are framed by a more rigid structure toward the finish. Alcohol 14.5%. (Dec 2020)"

90 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "[$26 list] Deep ruby. Pungent, high-pitched aromas of cherry, cassis, tobacco and succulent herbs. Juicy and refreshingly spicy, offering vibrant dark berry and bitter cherry flavors accented by a spicy black pepper flourish. Gains sweetness on the long, chewy finish, which features subtle tannins and appealing sweetness. Drink: 2022-2028. (Dec 2020)"
