Score 93/100 · Drink 2021-2036, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Dec 2019

Deep ruby-purple, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Mountain Estate Vineyard opens with gregarious crème de cassis, chocolate-covered cherries, graphite, leather and spice box with notes of thyme, turned earth and eucalyptus. Medium to full-bodied, it floods the mouth with intense, youthfully wound fruit, framed by grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing very long. This is vibrant and intense and will require another 3-5 years of bottle age. 952 cases produced.

This blend of 84% cabernet sauvignon, 7% merlot, 5% petite verdot and 4% cabernet franc offers a very defined and powerful yet focused style with ripe dark cherries, blackberries and plums, all delivered amid super fresh, vibrant tannins. Drink or hold.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Mountain Estate Vineyard (84% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Merlot and Petit Verdot) spent 22 months in 80% new French oak. It has a more mineral-laced style as well as dark currants and cassis-like fruits, notes of smoked herbs and graphite, full body, building tannins, and a great finish. There's a touch of this liqueur of rock like minerality that comes out with air and it's a powerful, structured wine that reminds me of what Leoville Las Cases would make from Napa. Hide bottle for 4-5 years and drink it over the coming two decades or more.
