JEB DUNNUCK 98 POINTS - "Absolutely gorgeous and the best vintage of this cuvée I've tasted here, the 2023 Flight shows a deep purple, almost opaque hue and offers a stunning perfume of black cherries, cassis, spring flowers, hints of chalky minerality, and liquid violets. It's absolutely brilliant on the palate, with medium to full body, a pure, graceful, layered mouthfeel, silky yet building tannins, and a gorgeous finish. It's one of the finest Merlots I've tasted from Napa and will have 20-25 years of longevity. Drink 2025-2050."
ANTONIO GALLONI 96 POINTS - "The 2023 The Flight is a somber, imposing wine. Cool blue/black-toned fruit, lavender, sage, mint and black pepper open first. This is an intensely aromatic Flight with young, imposing tannins to match. Quite simply, the 2023 is one of the best Flights I have ever tasted. I imagine it will drink beautifully for many years to come once the fierce tannins have a bit of time to soften. I can't remember encountering a Flight with this much palate density. The blend is 65% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc, all picked in the third week of September."
