"Cassis, toasted spice, dried earth, and licorice notes all merge from the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Skellenger Lane (100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in new oak) and it's a medium-bodied, balanced, elegant wine. With fine tannins, good balanced, and the fresh, focused, straight-up classic style of the vintage, it's going to benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age and keep for two decades as well." ~ Jeb Dunnuck

"...a big, bombastic wine, but it also comes across as rough around the edges and disjointed, especially next to the two other Cabernets in this range. Even so, there is more than enough energy to make me think the 2016 may come together with more time in bottle. Time will ultimately tell." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous

"Leathery thick and dusty tannins surround a robust core of black fruit and earthy cedar in this vineyard-designated wine, an herbal Old World offering of quiet complexity and lasting ripeness." ~ Wine Enthusiast
