Wine Advocate: 98 Points
Made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon opens somewhat reluctantly with cedar and baking spice scents, eventually giving way to a tantalizing core of Black Forest cake, blackcurrant cordial and candied violets with a waft of black raspberries. The tightly wound, medium to full-bodied palate is taut with ripe black fruits and a fine-grained textured, delivering loads of perfumed layers on the long finish. Stunning. Drink date: 2023 - 2048.

Winemaker Sam Kaplan sources from a range of stellar sites, many of them Beckstoffer, but also Vine Hill and Oakville Ranch. Together, they combine into a force of nature that is crisp and structured in red and black currant, coffee bean and toasted oak flavors that provide warmth, length and complexity. This powerful, structured and ultimately graceful wine will do well in the cellar; enjoy best 2029–2039. Virginie Boone
