Review Date: 01/2019Starting with the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate, it's a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 4% Malbec, and 4% Petit Verdot that’s all from the Stags Leap District. It offers a monster bouquet of bloody blueberries, cassis, iron, violets, and crushed rocks. This flows to a powerful, rich, yet also pure and elegant Napa Cabernet that has tons of class. It has a focused, slightly tight profile that's going to benefit from short-term cellaring, and it should evolve beautifully for 2 decades or more. (JD) 95+

The deep purple-black colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is blended of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 4% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot. It's beautifully perfumed with fragrant earth, lavender, oolong tea and chocolate-covered cherries with a core of warm cassis, crushed wild blueberries plus a compelling waft of roses. The full-bodied palate has a firm yet somehow wonderfully elegant frame thanks to super ripe, super fine-grained tannins and background freshness supporting the perfumed black fruit layers, leading to a very long finish.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is wonderfully fresh and nuanced. Sweet floral and spice notes run through a core of inky dark fruit. Blueberry jam, violet, menthol, spice and a kiss of new French oak are nicely pushed forward. Creamy and layered, the Estate is super-expressive, even in the early going. (AG)

Warm plum sauce and blackberry reduction flavors glide through, framed by cocoa and sweet toast notes. A ganache coating on the finish leaves a grippy edge, but this is frankly fruit-driven overall. (JM)
