This offers a nice warm wave of cassis and steeped plum flavors, while licorice and tobacco notes run underneath. Drink now through 2024. Score - 90. (James Molesworth, winespectator.com, June 30, 2021)

This consistent, reliable California Cabernet always hits well above its price point. The dry conditions of the 2021 growing season produced grapes of notable concentration and intensity. This big, bold wine has dark fruit, earth, coffee and tobacco and is perfect for a barbecued meat pizza, grilled tenderloin, or gourmet burgers.
