Score 95/100 · Drink 2019-2039, Jeb Dunnuck, Jan 2019

The largest production release, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Cult includes 2% Cabernet Franc and spent 21 months in 90% new Taransaud barrels. It too is inky colored and has lifted notes of cassis and blueberry fruits, graphite, toasted spice, and dried tobacco. It's elegant, seamless, incredibly pure and perfectly balanced. It’s another beautiful wine from this estate, which has hit home runs with all these latest 2016s.

Score 96/100 · Drink 2020-2037, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Oct 2018

Composed of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon with a 2% splash of Cabernet Franc, the very deep purple-black colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Cult is a little closed to begin, giving way to very youthful blackcurrants, blackberries and warm plums notes plus touches of pencil shavings, spice box, garrigue, black olives and a waft of cinnamon stick. The palate is full, very firm and very fresh with loads of black and blue fruit layers, finishing long and earthy. 425 cases produced.
