91 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The only 2016 presented, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley spent 16-18 months in American oak and reveals a saturated purple color as well as a ripe, sexy style in its blackberry, plums, vanilla bean, and spice-laced aromas and flavors. Loaded with fruit, it still stays balanced and pure, with silky tannins and a great finish. I don't think it's going to make old bones, but it's a beautiful, pleasure-bent beauty. Drink: 2019-2027.

90 points and 'Very highly recommended,' California Grapevine: "[$68 list] Medium-dark ruby; attractive, deep, cedary, red and black berry fruit aroma with hints of dill, cinnamon, dried herbs, and milk chocolate; full body; deep, rich, ripe, somewhat elegant, blackberry and raspberry fruit flavors with notes of vanilla and cassis, and a pleasing mouthfeel; full tannin; lingering aftertaste. Enjoyable now though will benefit from several more years of bottle aging. 14.8% alcohol; blended with 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Tannat, 0.5% Merlot, 0.5% Cabernet Franc; released February 2019. (Apr 2019)"
Producer notes: "Fermentation and barrel aging in ideal conditions produced a deep ruby wine with inviting aromas of red and black ripe fruit, chocolate nib, vanilla, and cedar. The big, round entry expands to a mouth-filling plushness showing flavors of bright cherry and layers of texture. Tannins are seamless, well integrated, and more structured than drying. The natural sweetness of the fruit balances the bright acidity and follows through to the lingering blackberry and caramel-laced finish. Alcohol 14.8%."
