James Suckling: 93 Points

 Complex, savory aromas of dark fruit, cassis, tobacco, smoke, burnt orange and grilled herbs. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, sleek tannins. Chewy and peppery with delicious, spicy layers. Fresh, energetic finish. 36% cabernet sauvignon, 34% merlot, 13% syrah, 10% cabernet franc, 6% malbec and 1% petit verdot. Vegan. Drink from 2022.

Jeb Dunnuck: 90 Points

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain checks in as 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the balance Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, all from a mix of sites on Red Mountain. Plenty of smoked black fruits, lead pencil, leafy tobacco, and baking chocolate notes give way to a medium to full-bodied, well-made, nicely textured, and balanced Cabernet. The American oak is borderline too much, but again, it holds it together and certainly has character.

Decanter Magazine: 89 Points

Straightforward with dark fruits that mingle with coffee and chocolate tones. Well-balanced, enjoy in the short-term.

Perhaps showing the best value of the range, the 2018 Red Mountain Blend is made up of 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 13% Syrah, 10% Cabernet Franc, 6% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot. Aromas of sage, thyme and dusty blackberry express with notions of dark cherry and roasted plum. Medium-bodied and impeccably balanced, the mid-palate displays an open-knit frame with accessible fruits and elegant tannins, harmonizing with energetic acidity. The blend ends with a delightfully lingering mineral-laced finish. The wine rested for 18 months in a mix of roughly two-thirds American oak and one-third French oak before being bottled. 82,000+ bottles made.
