90 Points  - Wine Enthusiast

With its preponderance of Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has rich, structured tannins as well as black-currant fruits. Wood aging has smoothed the wine, leaving a spicy character and plenty of ripeness. This latest release from the estate, which is on an upward trend, needs some aging. Drink from 2023
