Score 92/100 · Drink 2025-2030, Eric Guido, Vinous, Jun 2024

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a total pleasure to take in as sweet mint and cherry sauce come together with hints of graphite, orange zest and blackberry. It sweeps across the palate with ease, silken yet lifted and refined. Crunchy mineral tones lend contrast to depths of tart red berry fruits. The 2021 leaves behind an air of mentholated herbs, white pepper and a tinge of dark chocolate, finishing long, complex and structured as fine-grained tannins resonate yet don't impede the momentum.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Petit Verdot, 1% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc matured in 50% new French oak for 16 months. It has inviting aromas of chocolate, cigars, dried herbs and classy oak spices over a core of dark fruit. The medium-bodied palate is silky and fresh with a long, flavorful finish, although it feels youthfully wound and will benefit from a few more years in bottle.

Deep ruby. Gorgeous pyrazine character. Blackberry, black cherry, black plum and cedar. Lots of chew. Bone dry despite the heavy sweet oak character lending a wallop of vanilla. Broad-textured with soft, integrated acidity. (SCJ)
