"The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Jack's Masterpiece comes from a mix of vineyards and is a cellar selection put together by the winery president and former winemaker Mike Reynolds. Rocking levels of red, blue, and black fruits are interwoven with notions of unsmoked tobacco, iron, lavender, and lead pencil shavings. These all flow to a full-bodied, brilliantly balanced, seamless red that has ripe, sweet tannins, a stacked mid-palate, and the class to drink beautifully today yet evolve for two decades or more." 

Wine Advocate, 96 Points 

"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Jack's Masterpiece bursts from the glass with confident cassis, preserved plums and mulberries scents backed up by notions of cedar chest, pencil lead, espresso and tar. Full-bodied, the palate is built like a brick house with a solid frame of grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long with fantastic purity." 

Wine Spectator, 95 Points 

"Ripe and dense, yet seductive, featuring waves of plum, cassis and dark currant fruit that meld seamlessly, while violet, anise and alder notes moved deftly in the background. The long finish has muscle, but stays refined." 

Vinous, 94 Points 

"The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Jack's Masterpiece is a potent, virile wine. Swaths of tannins wrap around a core of inky black fruit. Leather, licorice, smoke, gravel and incense add to the wine's decidedly dark, somber personality. I would give the tannins a few years to soften." 

Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points 

"This sultry, voluptuous and rich wine is intense in leather saddle, earth and sweet oak, with a generous concentration of syrupy black fruit. Dried herb and grippy tannins round it out and offer balance against the richness."
