James Suckling

A classic wine from a great vineyard. So fragrant in pine needles, spearmint and blackcurrant aromas, then layers of violet, cocoa, cedar and bay laurel flavors wrapped in snug tannins. Fresh, firm and well-balanced, with many years of enjoyment ahead. Drinkable now and best from 2033.

Wine Advocate

Richer and fuller than the Fay Vineyard bottling, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon S.L.V. is loaded with generous notes of mixed red and black cherries. It's not quite full-bodied, but it's expansive on the palate—and somehow it does that without seeming heavy or overwrought. The luscious finish unspools in long, savory waves of mocha, earth and black olives. It's impressive stuff.

Vinous

The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon S.L.V. is a deep, powerful wine. Black cherry, plum, espresso, menthol and dried herbs infuse the 2022 with tons of aromatic complexity. Beams of tannin confer gravitas to this brooding, imposing young Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2023 offers an intriguing mix of the power that is typical of this site tempered by the restraint of this cold, late-ripening year. (Drink between 2028-2048)

Notes

***This is a very special comemorative bottling for the 50th Anniversary of the Judgement of Paris Tasting*** This wine is a barrel selection, specifically from fruit grown in Block 4 or "The Grand Dame Block". These vines were planted in 1972 and represent the very hearrt of what propelled this wine to victory at the Judgement of Paris Tasting in 1976. Only 1973 Magnums were produced. Each one is individually numbered and presented in a wooden case.
