ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 98 POINTS - "The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 4.5% Malbec and 4.5% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple, it comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of cassis, plum preserves, cedar chest and pencil lead, plus wafts of black truffles, damp soil and unsmoked cigars. Medium to full-bodied, the palate bursts with black berry flavors and wonderful freshness, packed with loads of subtle savory layers and textured by approachable, plush tannins, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note. 599 cases were made."
ANTONIO GALLONI 96 POINTS - "The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace stands out in this range because of bright, savory-infused bouquet and overall energy. Medium in body, the Red Rock Terrace is all about energy and drive. There's plenty of power too, but it is expressive in more of a linear fashion. Bright red fruit, iron, dried herbs and blood orange are some of the many nuances that start to develop with a bit of time in the glass."
