96pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2018 Padrone is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot and 6% Malbec. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes galloping out of the glass with energetic scents of warm cassis, freshly crushed black cherries, boysenberries and wild sage, plus suggestions of fragrant earth, black truffles and unsmoked cigars with a waft of cedar chest. The medium to full-bodied palate is an exercise in elegance, delivering beautifully ripe, finely grained tannins and seamless freshness to support the intense black fruit and savory layers, finishing long and perfumed.

96pts James Suckling

A fine and well tuned red with blackcurrant, blackberry and hints of orange peel and light chocolate. Some cedar, too. Precise character. It’s full-bodied with well integrated tannins and a fresh finish. This will age nicely, but very attractive to drink now.

96pts Vinous

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Padrone is a deep, resonant wine. Black cherry, chocolate, spice, licorice and espresso all race out of the glass. The 2018 has all the power and richness the Padrone bottling has offered in the past, with fewer of the angular, hard tannins from the extraction style of the past. The purity of the fruit is just remarkable. This is another super-impressive wine from the new team at Signorello headed by winemaker Priyanka French. 

95pts Decanter

The nose is distinctly blackcurranty, backed by stylish oak. Sleek and very concentrated, it displays a fine acidic backbone, and skilful oak-ageing gives it gloss and intensity. The finish is long, with a discreet tannic texture. Level-pegging with the 2019 Padrone in terms of quality, but not quite as racy or polished.

93pts Jeb Dunnuck

More expensive, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Padrone checks in as 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec, and the rest Merlot and Cabernet Franc. This deeper, richer wine reveals a dense purple color, terrific notes of crème de cassis, lead pencil, cedarwood, graphite, and rocky minerality, medium to full body, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's impressive yet is slightly closed and backward. Give bottles 2-4 years of bottle age and it should evolve for 15-20 years or more in cold cellars. It's a beautiful wine.  Rating: 93+

91pts Wine Enthusiast

Blended with small amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec, this estate-grown wine is earthy in compost, with a firmness of tannin. Black cherry, currant and orange rind accent a core of substantial concentration and lingering oak.

Winemaker Notes

Rich, dynamic and concentrated, the 2018 “Padrone” Cabernet Sauvignon is a striking wine. This vibrant, dense Cabernet is packed with black cherry, red and black currant, plum and blueberry jam. This stunning bouquet is wonderfully nuanced with licorice, menthol, lavender and dark chocolate. Opulent and big bodied, the mid-palate is weighted leading into a vibrant finish of tobacco leaf, herbal tea, and mocha. Deeply textured with exceptional balance, this wine will reveal so much more in the years to come.

Blend: 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot
