What Critics Think
James Suckling : 92 Points
(6/28/2024) This is a full-bodied cabernet that has inviting aromas of chocolate cherries, black plums, mocha and some vanilla. It’s firm yet creamy and plush with excellent persistency. Drink now or hold.
Wine Advocate : 90 Points
(4/3/2025) The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon offers high quality for its modest price. Matured for 10 months in 15% new French oak barriques, it's scented of red cherries, charcuterie, aniseed and dried herbs. The full-bodied palate is concentrated and savory with soft, grainy tannins, refreshing acidity and a layered finish. 140,000 cases produced. Drink Date: 2025 - 2030.
Jeb Dunnuck : 90 Points
(7/10/2025) For the price, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Cs overdelivers in quality, with winemaker Charles Smith producing a sultry, big-boned, yet refined varietal wine that's revealing in blackcurrant, cedar, and tobacco. Medium-bodied, it is well-integrated in terms of tannin and oak, with a youthful verve that keeps it long and herbal on the finish.
