Stephen Brook

Tasting: Napa & Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon

Closed nose. Fresh, limpid, quite juicy, but not a great deal of concentration or weight of fruit. A lighter style but it’s balanced and attractive, but unlikely to improve much with age. Quite long.

16/20
86/100

Yohann Jousselin MS

Tasting: Napa & Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon

Very complex nose with notes of ripe blackcurrant. The tannins are young but well-integrated. Alcohol is generous.

15.5/20

David Motion

Tasting: Napa & Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon

Well-made, modern. Fruit, oak, tannins are all there. Missing some excitement.
