Score 92/100 · Drink 2020-2030, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Feb 2019

Leaner and more chiseled than the 2014 (which was only 5% Cabernet Sauvignon), the medium to full-bodied 2016 Winemakers Reserve Gimblett Gravels Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot / Malbec features aromas of mint and dried flowers, restrained cassis fruit and a long, firm finish.
