JEB DUNNUCK 92 POINTS - "The largest production, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, and 1% Merlot that's from both mountain and valley floor sites. It's a classic 2021 with its fresher, focused, perfumed style as well as medium to full-bodied richness, lots of currant and black cherry fruits, some tobacco and graphite notes, building tannins, and a great finish. It's a serious wine that will age."
ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 91+ POINTS - "Sourced from estate sites in Oakville and Calistoga and incorporating purchased fruit as well, there are 11,000 cases of the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, about half the usual volume. Aged in just under 50% new French oak, it easily marries cherries with notes of vanilla and brown sugar. It's full-bodied and concentrated, richly tannic but ripe, with a lingering, dusty finish."
WINE SPECTATOR 91 POINTS - "Ripe, fresh and forward, with a core of black cherry and plum compote threaded with light licorice and apple wood notes. A flash of violet checks in on the finish. Drink now through 2036."
