ACCOLADES

• Jeb Dunnuck, (94 Points)

"The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Il Barone is another terrific wine. Lots of smoked blueberries, scorched earth, cedar, caramelized currants, toasted spice, and chocolate give way to a full-bodied, concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon that shows the more focused, firm style of the vintage yet still brings plenty of fruit and richness. Give bottles 3-4 years and it should age gracefully for 15-20 years."

• Wine Enthusiast Magazine (93 Points)

"Densely packed with flavor and rich in texture, this grand, reserve style of Cabernet is full bodied and layered. Black fruits, cedar, cinnamon and vanilla dance around smoky accents, while big tannins give it plenty of mouthfeel. Best from 2026–2036." - Jim Gordon

• Wine Spectator (92 Points)

"A lush, hyperripe style, showing warm plum sauce and blackberry paste flavors that roll through, with cocoa and licorice root on the broad finish. For fans of the powerful style. Drink now through 2029. 4,052 cases made. — JM"

• The Wine Independent (91 Points)

"The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Il Barone is deep garnet-purple in color. It gallops out with expressive cassis, baked plums, and fruitcake scents, followed by hints of dried Provence herbs and crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate is chock full of bright black berry flavors, supported by a refreshing backbone and chewy tannins, finishing with a lively lift." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
