Coming from Red Mountain and 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Cabernet Franc brought up in 80% new French oak, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Curiositas offers more red and black fruits to go with classic Red Mountain minerality, notes of graphite and tobacco, full-bodied richness, and building, firm, yet ripe tannins. It's going to need 3-5 years of bottle age, but it’s a classic expression of this terroir.
Range: 94-96

94pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Made with 7% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Curiositas Cabernet Sauvignon is dense, dark and red-fruited with juicy blackberry tones that sway with focus and power before revealing a rocky mineral essence and wilted red flowers. Full-bodied and firmly mineral, the wine is dense and chewy on the palate and will remain food-friendly for over 15 years. The wine ends with a tannic and firm finish that either needs food now or time in the cellar. Be patient. The wine rested for 20 months in 75% new oak barrels. Bravo! This is delightful.
