Wine Advocate

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is blended with 1.5% Petit Verdot and matured for 20 months in 35% new oak. It's bursting with gregarious blackcurrant, blueberry, mint chocolate and lilac plus touches of cigar ash, licorice and coffee beans. The medium-bodied palate is light on its feet despite its deep core of perfumed fruit, with a frame of grainy tannins and juicy acidity that calls you in for another sip. This is wonderfully easy to drink despite offering plenty of complexity.

Wine Enthusiast

Made from the producer's estate Monument Ridge, blocks that rise from 1,400 to 2,400 feet, this balanced, elegant wine is refined and savory, with classic structure. Crushed rock, mountain sage, pine and dusty tannin support a core of juicy currant and cassis.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is perfumed with sweet crushed flowers, candied blackberry, and soft baking spice. The palate is juicy up front and gives way to more savory fine-grained tannins and a supple mouthfeel, with notes of black tea and wild herbs. Drink 2025-2042.

I love when we have a serious Cabernet Sauvignon for under $50, it's just something that I feel allows me to put the bottle into more people's hands. This has a super classic nose, there's some brambley fruit, dark cherry, and then a combination of creamy fruit and some barrel spice. There's little hints of black olive and a light mushroom in the very background. The palate is super polished and silky, the tannins already both fine and well-integrated. The fruit pops just a bit more than the nose, super delicious fresh and dried cherries, blackberry, and then leaning into some dried green herbs and the barrel spice coming around for the finish. This is just great, it's got enough acidity that you really want to have it with food, but enough elegance and polish that if you just want to pop the bottle you can go ahead and do that too. Definitely one of our better Cabernet Sauvignons at this price, and likely it won't last long.
