Medium to full-bodied with a full frame of ripe, grainy tannins, it has seamless freshness laced through the energetic fruit, finishing long and juicy.

It's a supple, voluptuous effort that offers loads of black and blue fruits, ground herbs, earth, and peppery notes as well as a full-bodied, ripe, beautifully polished elegant style on the palate. Like all of Matt's wines, it has a complex, nuanced, seamless style that's a joy to drink."

Details I loved the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Lewelling Ranch from winemaker Haley Wight, a blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot that spent 20 months in 75% new French oak. It shines for its purity and elegance just as much as its richness and depth and gives up medium to full-bodied notes of red and blue fruits, violets, and espresso roast. With silky, ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish, it tastes like it cost 2-3 times the price. 790 cases.Jeb Dunnuck | 95 JD

Details Tightly coiled and tense at first. Slowly and steadily hinting at the incredible power and concentration in the glass. Orange blossom, beeswax, gunflint, marzipan and Meyer lemon. Precise and powerful on the palate. Solid core of citrus fruit, almond and loquat. Touch of toasted oak. Fresh and light as a feather on the long finish. Hint of malolactic softness and roundness. Pure 2015 with everything in its right place and all senses elevated to a higher level.

DETAILS 94 points from James Suckling. "A beautiful Barbaresco with crushed lavender, citrus, violets and nutmeg. There’s a very serious tannin backbone behind this and the fruit/acidity tension makes the whole, compact package very endearing. Full body, pinpoint acidity and a fine, elegant finish. Drink in 2022."

Details 93 points from Vinous (Antonio Galloni). The aromas on this lovely wine are expressive of wild berries, roasted herbs, violets, and dark cherries. On the palate, the acidity lifts and compliments the fine tannins, exploding in a mouth of plush blueberries, cherries, spice, cedar, and coffee beans.

Bordeaux Saint-Émilion Made predominantly from Merlot and Cabernet Franc, Saint-Émilion wines tend to have a rich, mouth-drying tannic structure, which is balanced by the more juicy characteristics of plum and black cherry fruit, along with chocolate and sweet spice, developing savory tobacco and cedar characteristics with age.
