Wine Enthusiast scored this 92 points and named it a Best Buy under $15 saying, "This densely flavorful yet relaxed wine rests on a cushion of plush, fine tannins that carry its earthy, black fruit, baking spice and dark chocolate flavors across the palate and into a soft finish. Best from 2026."
Wine Spectator gave this 92 points saying, "An open, racy cabernet, this has the cool feel of stone in a deep well, that tannic depth completely filled by ripe plum fruit. Brighter notes of cherries and cranberries emerge with air, and the wine retains its lively feel, suggesting it will improve over the next several years in bottle."
James Suckling scored this 92 points as well saying, "A delicious 2020 with juicy fruits of plums and berries with hazelnut and chocolate. Full and very layered with soft and velvety texture and a flavorful finish."
