| Awards | "This property's flagship wine excels in this vintage with the 2021 Cathiard Vineyard Proprietary Red—based on older vines from the benchlands and hillsides—offering up an exciting array of aromas ranging from raspberries to blueberries and sage to bay. It's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and dense, tannic and muscular yet elegant. it's a gymnast of a wine that should age effortlessly for 20 years or more." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Aromas of blackcurrants, pine needles, cedar, tree bark and fresh dark mushrooms. Some stone and black fruit, too. A very fine-grained wine, complex and refined with energy and focus. It’s elegant with a lasting finish. Hints of nutmeg and other spices at the end, with a touch of incense and sandalwood. Pure cabernet sauvignon from 45-year-old vines, the oldest hillside block at the property. 9,000 bottles made. Try after 2028." - James Suckling "(18++) 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Tasted blind. Mid dark crimson. Some shading at the rim. Minerally nose. Very round and smooth and flattering on the palate initially and then the (well-managed) tannins kick in. Just a hint of dark chocolate on the end. Complete and well balanced. Luscious and flattering. Well behaved but didn’t grow in the glass. Still to develop. Gentle! (JR)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is fabulous and hopefully an indication of what the property will be capable of in the future. Dark and sumptuous in the glass, the 2021 exudes class. Sumptuous dark-toned fruit, leather, chocolate, lavender and spice all saturate the palate. Brisk acids pull it all together in style." - Vinous "This is a ripe, polished version, offering a steady beam of cassis and blackberry fruit laced with anise, apple wood and iron notes that stretch out nicely on the finish. The toasty frame is in balance with the fruit, which shows tension and cut through the finish. Best from 2026 through 2040." - Wine Spectator "This Cabernet Sauvignon relies on 45-year-old vines to deliver depth, a long finish and a refined balance of tannins and fresh acidity. A combination of black fruits, deliciously fresh mixed herbs, pleasing earthy accents and a savory character immediately taste of Napa Valley, while the structure and poise are built to age, and feel reminiscent of classic Bordeaux. This is an exciting new project from the producers of Smith Haut-Lafite worth seeking out. Will continue to develop in cellar." - Wine Enthusiast "Fragranced and floral on the nose with clear toast, liquorice, cedar and blueberries. Dense yet agile, this has weight and an instant texture in the mouth - like crushed velvet, massy and full but chalky and softly chewy while remaining cool and lifted. I like the clean aspect with a really mineral, graphite aspect to the finish. Feels polished and utterly elegant, still super young, this hasn't given up any tension yet, but it will be sublime in time. Blackcurrants, plums and sweet spices but cool too, nothing overripe or pushed about this. Very good." - Decanter |
