“Slightly herbal, sage-like nuances join black cherries on the nose, while the medium- to full-bodied palate finishes firm and dusty with ripe tannins. It needs a bit of time—buy and drink the 2022 in the meantime—but should represent another great value.”

“The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is superb. Bright and sculpted, it presents gorgeous notes of inky dark fruit, graphite, crushed rocks, lavender and menthol. Medium in body, the 2023 impresses with its lifted aromatics, sculpted fruit and overall energy.”
