Score 96/100 · Drink 2019-2038, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Oct 2018

The deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Sugarloaf offers a tantalizingly meaty/savory nose with notions of smoked meats, sautéed herbs, chargrill, tapenade and black truffles over a core of crème de cassis, plum preserves and dark chocolate plus a waft of black pepper. Medium to full-bodied, the palate reveals great elegance and finesse, with the vibrant, juicy black fruits framed by plush tannins and loads of freshness, finishing long and earthy.
