- 100 Punkte, JEB DUNNUCK: The 2018 Estate Cuvee checks 45 Syrah, 40 Cabernet Sauvignon, 15 Petit Verdot brought up in 90 new French oak. Tasting like the straight Cab, yet with more sex appeal, it offers a huge nose of crème de cassis, white flowers, crushed stone, graphite, and crushed flowers. This carries to a full-bodied, gorgeously textured red with incredible balance, no hard edges, a thrilling mid-palate, and a great, great finish. It's going to benefit from 5-6 years of bottle age and keep for upwards of two decades or more. Hats off to winemaker Stephan Asseo on another incredible wine, as well as, I suspect the wine of the vintage. 2025-2045
- 98 Punkte James Suckling (102022 ): This is a superb red with blackberry, blueberry, crushed-stone and currant character. Full-bodied, yet nervy. Hints of burnt orange and walnuts. Energy here. Framed and precise. 45 syrah, 40 cabernet sauvignon and 15 petit verdot. Give it three or four years, but already great.
- 95 Parkers WINE ADVOCATE Erin Brooks : The 2018 Estate Cuvée is made up of 45 Syrah, 40 Cabernet Sauvignon and 15 Petit Verdot aged in 90 new French oak. Deep ruby-purple, the nose takes some time to unfurl to touches of cast-iron pan, tar, turned earth, cassis and blueberry pie with floral top notes. The palate is full-bodied with lush, mineral-tinged fruits in a firm frame, lifted by surprising freshness and finishing long and perfumed. Give it another 3-5 years in bottle. 1,800 cases produced. Drink Date: 2020-2035
- 94 DECANTER, Jane Anson : Powerful, concentrated and confident with added swagger. Owner Stephan Asseo has deftly brought out opulent swathes of redcurrant and raspberry fruits laced with liquorice and cigar that is both striking and moreish. 100 estate grown fruit cropped to low yields of under 30hlha. 90 new French oak, 10 one-year-old French oak, with malolactic fermentation in barrel. No fining, no filtering. 2,000 cases produced. 2025-2042 ;
