Score 89/100 · Drink 2022-2030, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, May 2022

Like its stablemate, the Craftsmen & Wolves, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Ivy & Thistle was fermented in concrete, then aged in a high proportion of new French oak. This wine offers up bold, fruit-driven notes of jujube and Ribena on the nose. In the mouth, it's big, supple and mouthfilling, with some modest tannins on the mouthwatering finish.
