"A powerful, stalwart wine that's sturdy in structure, nicely filled out with red and black fruit and full-bodied without overdoing it. Oak spices from French and American barrels add some cocoa, vanilla bean and cinnamon accents. Made from 75% cabernet sauvignon with portions of malbec, syrah, petit verdot and cabernet franc. Drink now or hold."

"The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Collusion is good at any price point. At this price point, it's exceptionally good, showing a shy nose of cooler-climate, red-fruited personality, from currant and cassis to cedar, tobacco leaf, and graphite. The tannins are approachable in their youth, providing structure without getting in the way of drinking pleasure. This is a great house wine or by the glass pour."
