Score 92/100 · Drink 2018-2026, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2018

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Pearl of the Ravens is powerful and resonant in the glass, with terrific persistence and tons of personality. Black cherry, plum, mocha, spice and dried herb notes abound, with cedar, tobacco and crushed flowers adding nuance to this exquisite, impeccably balanced Cabernet Sauvignon. Bold pungent, savory notes typical of wines aged in amphora (Pearl of the Ravens is aged 80% in terra cotta amphora and 20% oak).

Composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Pearl of the Ravens opens with expressive Black Forest cake, cassis and blackberry preserves scents plus hints of mocha, licorice and underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, firm and grainy, it delivers a good amount of black berry layers and an earthy finish. 68 cases produced.
