Rating: 95-97 Points (Wine Advocate)

“A barrel sample, the 2018 Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep garnet-purple color and vivacious notes of stewed black plums, boysenberries and blackcurrant pastilles with suggestions of tobacco leaf, beef drippings and dried Provence herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is refreshing and elegantly styled, featuring a line of finely grained tannins to support the delicate black fruit layers, finishing on a minerally note.”
