"The nose shows an array of blue and black fruit, with underlying notes of violets, mulberries and cloves. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with finely integrated tannins, bright acidity and notes of blackcurrants, tobacco leaves and cedar. A very polished wine from a tough vintage, made from a blend of 86% cabernet sauvignon, 6% cabernet franc, 6% malbec and 2% petit verdot. Drinkable now, but best from 2028."

"The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon is a very good wine, especially for the year. Dark, savory and inviting, this is a terrific example of an Old-World style on Moon Mountain. Dried herbs, tobacco, incense and licorice meld into a core of intense dark fruit. The heat of the vintage is evident, and yet all the elements are very nicely balanced."
