Score 89/100 · Drink 2018-2026, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2018

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon The Ravens Vineyard is soft, fruity and easygoing, all of which will make it easy to enjoy young. Silky and perfumed, the 2016 is a decidedly delicate, Cabernet for Calistoga, where the wines are usually quite a bit more potent.

Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon The Ravens gives up warm plums, black cherries and dark chocolate notes with touches of wild sage and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is plush and juicy with a spicy kick on the finish. 220 cases produced, to be released in February 2019.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon The Ravens offers a bit more power and structural depth than the 2015 tasted alongside it. Black cherry, plum, new leather, menthol and spice give the 2016 its distinctive, baritone personality. There is quite a bit of density in the glass. I am intrigued to see where this goes over the coming year as it finishes up its aging.
