Score 89/100 · Drink 2022-2030, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Sep 2022

The 2019 Lion Tamer Cabernet Sauvignon includes small amounts of Malbec and Petite Sirah, but it retains Cab's essence in its cassis notes and gentle herbal shadings. Full-bodied and supple, with fine-grained tannins that leave a silky impression on the finish, it should be enjoyed over the next several years.

Tobacco, spice box, lead pencil, and both red and black currant-like fruits emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Lion Tamer, a medium-bodied, supple, elegant 2019 that has sweet tannins, solid depth of fruit, and a great finish. Drink this total charmer over the coming 7-8 years, if not longer.
