94pts Wine Enthusiast

Enticing aromas of pencil shavings, cedar and toasted oak lead to a firm, concentrated palate packed with dried blueberries, black cherries, mocha and mint. The wine is full-bodied, appropriately tannic and built for the long haul, gaining complexity and smoothness with age. Best from 2027–2040.

93pts Decanter

A blend of three different vineyards from Rutherford, St. Helena, and Howell Mountain. Grapes that don't make it into the estate wines will end up in the "S" label, a second label of the Signorello Estate. 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc are native yeast fermented and aged 16 months in 50% new French oak, bottled unfined and unfiltered. It's a bright, layered, and wonderfully chewy Cabernet with generous tannins and plenty of freshness, making it a tremendous value for a second wine from this historic Napa estate. Red currants, tobacco, sage, and cedarwood with a host of muddled black cherry fruit combined with graphite minerals. Give it a good decant and enjoy it for the next 5-7 years.
