Score 94/100 · Drink 2021-2036, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Nov 2019

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate needs a little coaxing to reveal slowly emerging scents of wild blueberries, blackcurrant cordial and warm black plums with touches of sandal wood, allspice, pencil shavings and fragrant earth. The full-bodied palate is decadently fruited with impactful black and blue fruit layers, framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and savory.

Score 90-93/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2018

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is dense and quite powerful in the glass, with the big, grainy tannins that are typical of this Calistoga site. A brooding wine, the 2016 Estate is going to need time to fully come together. I have seen that happen in the past, and am confident it will happen here, too.
