ACCOLADES

• Jeb Dunnuck (96 Points)

"The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Il Barone (there's 5% Merlot in the blend) is a selection geared to be a rich, powerful wine and it succeeds admirably, offering full-bodied richness and depth, awesome tannin quality, no hard edges, and a complex notes of black and blue fruits, Asian spices, chocolate, and earthy, forest floor nuances. It's another brilliant wine in this lineup."

• Wine Enthusiast Magazine - Cellar Selection (94 Points)

"This big, plush, black-fruited wine is the top of the line for Napa Valley's “castle winery.” It has a soft power, wrapping superfine tannins around deep, dark blueberries and black-currant flavors that saturate the palate with ripeness. Tempting oak spices from cinnamon and nutmeg to toast and graphite come up in the aroma and coast all the way through the finish. Best through 2032." - Jim Gordon

• Wine Spectator (92 Points)

"Ripe, rounded and warm in feel, with cassis and cherry puree notes laced with alder and sassafras hints. Built on acidity as much as tannin, too, which gives it a nice feel through the finish. Drink now through 2031."
