Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 92 Points (2016)

This is a blend of 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 15% Syrah and a drop of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that opens with smoky aromas and grilled bell pepper over a core of dense red and black fruit. It’s bold, but lively acidity adds elegance. Flavors of herbs, green bell pepper, peppercorn and chocolate are supported by fine-grained tannins

Robert Parker (RP) : 92 Points (2016)

Bold and fresh with ripe fruit aromas, the 2016 Estate Reserve Red offers breadth, depth and power with a firm backbone, with Syrah providing peppercorn spices and Cabernet Sauvignon expressing floral blackberry essences. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is juicy with a gripping, tannic edge and ends with a long-lingering, spicy, food-friendly finish.

James Suckling (JS) : 90 Points (2016)

Ripe blackberries and blueberry pie with hints of black olives, licorice and wet soil. Medium-bodied with soft tannins and a round mouth-feel. Fruity and flavorful.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 90 Points (2012)

Mature, showing a broad, loamy swath of currant and blackberry fruit flavors that have melded with smoldering tobacco and worn leather notes. Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Petit Verdot and Merlot. Drink now through 2019. 6,391 cases made.
