#29 - Wine Enthusiast 100: The Best Wines of 2024

94 points, The Wine Independent. "The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 7% Petit Verdot. Sporting a deep garnet-purple color, black cherry preserves, blackcurrant jelly, and plum preserves scents jump from the glass, leading to hints of rose bud tea, underbrush, and dusty soil. The full-bodied palate is packed with black fruit layers, supported by lightly chewy tannins and bags of freshness, finishing long and savory."

92 points, Wine Enthusiast. "A mix of black fruits spun through with stimulating and flavorful spices fill the mouth with juicy and savory flavors. These are carried by a balance of acidity and fine-grained tannins into a mouthwatering and lengthy finish."

92 points, James Suckling. "Fresh and nicely framed aromas of red currants, stone and sweet tobacco. Medium-bodied with open-grained tannins and a creamy finish. Crunchy fruit. A blend of 77% cabernet sauvignon, 12% merlot, 5% malbec, 4% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Very drinkable now, but can improve with age."
