Critical Acclaim

WE 93 Wine Enthusiast
This is a robust mineral-laden wine—a true representation of the substantial appellation, so good at offering power and complexity. Quiet layers of toasted coconut and oak are complemented by baked cherry and blackberry along with an unshakable hint of bay leaf. This will do well with more time, so enjoy best 2025–2030.
JS 92 James Suckling
A silky red with plum, blackcurrant and subtle chocolate aromas and flavors. Full body and a dense center palate, yet this remains refined and beautiful. Much better than the 2013. Drink in 2020.
RP 90 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the deep purple-black colored 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate offers notes of blackberries, black cherries, cedar and earth with a waft of cloves and lavender. The medium-bodied palate is firm, hard, chewy and a bit on the delicate side but shows good expression.
D 90 Decanter
Gentle forest fruit and tarry plum aromas, together with an exotic cinnamon note from the oak. A wine of volume as well as finesse and poise, with dried flowers on the finish. Drinking Window 2019-2029.
