"Another wine in this range of compelling identity, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon marries old-school varietal signatures with midweight texture and fruit-forward approachability. Rich blackberry, dark chocolate, grilled herbs and sweet pipe tobacco flesh out in the glass. Generous but not heavy, the 2023 will delight lovers of New World-inflected but classically built wines. Fabulous."

"A lovely mix of old-school charm and contemporary polish, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon combines a lush core of dark fruits with lifted, herbal and tobacco nuances. The palate is rich and velvety yet light on its feet as it moves into a deep, resonant finish propelled by chalky tannins and a measured, vibrant spine of acidity."
