Score 93/100 · Drink 2020-2032, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Dec 2019

The deep ruby colored 2016 Sophia's Hillside Cuvée is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Malbec, 13% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. The nose is tightly wound, taking its time to give glimpses of cassis, menthol and Morello cherries with notions of dark chocolate, graphite and dried herbs. The medium to full-bodied palate is youthfully dense, with minerally fruit. It's firmly structured and offers great freshness, but it will require plenty more time in bottle. 693 cases produced.
