Jeb Dunnuck 95+ Points 

"The 2018 Red Blend Sage Ridge Vineyard offers a fresher, more elegant, possibly more complex style. Notes of red and blue fruits, bouquet garni, tobacco, damp earth, and sous bois give way to a medium to full-bodied 2018 with the vintage’s fresh, elegant character, ripe yet certainly present tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish. This is another beautiful, elegant, yet concentrated wine from this estate that’s well worth seeking out." 

Wine Enthusiast, 95 Points 

"Brawny and rich in notes of brown sugar, blueberry, clove and graham cracker, this mountain-grown wine from the eastern mountains of the Vaca Range demonstrates great intensity and depth. Supple tannins provide elegant grip and texture, with a backbone of undeniable structure and finesse. This will do well to age further; enjoy best from 2028–2038."  

James Suckling, 94 Points 

"Aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries and flowers follow through to a full body with round tannins and a creamy, polished finish. Solid cab with classy, polished tannins. Give it two or three years to mellow. Drink after 2022." 

Wine Spectator, 93 Points 

"A big, juicy, brambly version, with lots of cassis, black cherry and plum preserve flavors coursing along, enlivened by anise and apple wood notes. Rock solid through the finish. Best from 2022 through 2032. 254 cases made." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Brilliant, deep ruby color with blue undertones. This is a classic Cabernet Sauvignon with aromas of ripe red and black fruits, lavender, humidor and damp earth. Dense and juicy on the palate with crème de cassis, caramel, black violets, cocoa powder. Creamy and polished finish."
