Score 97/100 · Drink 2022-2042, Jeb Dunnuck, Jan 2020

The three best barrels (also from the Meteor Vineyard in Coombsville) and aged 30 months in barrel, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon 88 Keys is cut from the same cloth as the straight Cabernet yet has a bigger, richer style. Black currants, black raspberries, chocolate, mint, and Asian spices all dominate this beauty. which expands beautifully on the palate.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon 88 Keys is a-three barrel selection of the best Cabernet lots in the cellar, all from Meteor, in Coombsville. Rich, inky and explosive, the 2016 possesses off-the-charts richness and unctuous intensity. Gravel, smoke, licorice, plum, bittersweet chocolate and spice infuse the 2016 with tremendous character as well as nuance. This is such a gorgeous and expressive wine.
