Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of 21 different lots from 11 different vineyards, the 2017 The Bard is composed of 87 Cabernet Sauvignon and 13 Merlot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it bursts out of the glass with blackcurrant cordial, warm plums, redcurrant jelly and chocolate-covered cherries notes, leading to a minty undercurrent with a waft of cinnamon. Medium to full-bodied, soft-textured and refreshing, it delivers a good core of black fruit on the palate, finishing wonderfully spicy. Rating: 93+
Jeb Dunnuck
Based mostly on Cabernet Sauvignon (87) and a small amount of Merlot (13), the 2017 The Bard is another ripe, sexy wine that has more sweetness of fruit than most in the vintage. Black cherries, blackberries, scorched earth, graphite, and some violets notes all dominate the nose, and it's beautifully textured and balanced on the palate. It’s beautiful today yet has 15-20 years of prime drinking ahead of it.
