Critics Scores
James Suckling
Lots of burnt orange with currant and dust undertones. Some rose petal, too. Full body, chewy and tannic with lots of tension and intensity. Needs two or three years to soften but already a very impressive wine for the vintage. Drink in 2020.
Jeb Dunnuck
The only 2015 I was able to taste from this estate (I couldn’t visit due to the fires), the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is 78 Cabernet Sauvignon, 15 Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot. Deeper and richer than the 2014 with gorgeous notes of black currants, plums, graphite, toasted spice and licorice, this beauty is full-bodied, supple and seamless on the palate, with fine, fine tannin and surprising freshness and purity. It’s a beautiful, layered wine to drink over the coming 15-20 years.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Blended of 78 Cabernet Sauvignon, 15 Merlot, 3 Petit Verdot, 2 Malbec and 2 Cabernet Franc, sourced from six vineyards, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a medium to deep garnet-purple color and nose of red and black currants, black raspberries and mulberries with hints of pencil shavings, cinnamon stick, cloves and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has great freshness, with the vibrant, open-for-business fruit well supported by ripe, grainy tannins, finishing with good length.
Wine Enthusiast
Leather, tobacco and smoky char define the opening of this fullbodied, rich wine, blended with 15 Merlot, 3 Petit Verdot, 3 Malbec and 2 Cabernet Franc. Woody and structured, its fruit leans dark and plummy, ending on a touch of dark chocolate.
