96pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon explodes with crème de cassis, baked plums and Black Forest cake scents, plus hints of candied violets, clove oil, cedar and unsmoked cigars. Big, full-bodied and richly fruited, the palate has a firm and grainy frame to support the generous black fruits and spicy accents, finishing very long.

96pts Wine Enthusiast

This is sultry, silky and sophisticated, with impressively integrated layers of cedar, clove and sage over a wealth of rich red fruit. It shows generous oak and a tannic grip that should keep it lively in the bottle for many years.  Best after 2028. Cellar Selection.

Winemaker Notes

Our "Family Reserve" designates the pinnacle in quality Cabernet Sauvignon production from our Oakville Estate. Due to limited production, all wines are sold during strict allocation periods.
