Aquilini "10,000 Hours" Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Jeb Dunnuck : 91 Points

(7/9/2022) The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is better, with more balance as well as complexity. Red and black fruits, toasted spice, dried flowers, and spicy oak all define the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a round, supple, elegant texture, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. Drink it over the coming decade. Maturity: 2022 - 2032.

James Suckling : 92 Points

(3/28/2022) Floral aromas, with blueberries and hints of vanilla that follow through to a medium body with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Refined and delicious already, but better in a year or two.

Wine Spectator : 90 Points

(12/31/2022) Generous yet well-structured, with layered black currant, bay leaf and savory spice flavors that gather tension and tannins on the finish. Drink now through 2028. 1,100 cases made.

Wine Enthusiast : 90 Points

(7/1/2022) The aromas offer notes of dried orange rind, black cherry, violets, blue fruit and potting soil. Full-feeling flavors follow, showing density through the middle. Give it time for the tannins to settle or decant.
