Description

98    Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Wine Advocate
“The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 4.5% Malbec and 4.5% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple, it comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of cassis, plum preserves, cedar chest and pencil lead, plus wafts of black truffles, damp soil and unsmoked cigars. Medium to full-bodied, the palate bursts with black berry flavors and wonderful freshness, packed with loads of subtle savory layers and textured by approachable, plush tannins, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note.” (3/2021)

95    Connoisseurs Guide
“Leading with a very deep, Cabernet-specific nose of currants and black cherries layered with notes of dark earth and gently sweetened by a discreet measure of oak, the 2018 Red Rock Terrace is a supple, mouthfilling effort that musters a great deal of varietal richness without throwing so much as a sidelong glance in the direction of pushy ripeness. It moderately tannic as is expected for a serious young Cabernet, but it already exhibits the signs of certain suppleness to come, and, if presently a wine more concerned with unbridled richness than finesse, it is sure to show a more nuanced refinement without any sacrifice of emphatic richness when the six to ten years that its ageworthy structure commends have passed.” (8/2021)
