“The full-bodied palate is concentrated and impactful, delivering a firm, grainy texture and well-knit freshness to support the generous black and blue fruits, finishing long with loads of mineral and exotic spices sparks. This is impressive!” - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent

“It’s a big, ripe wine, but it remains harmonious from front to back. Deep, intense aromas of black cherries and cassis are accented by dried spices on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is rich and textural, showing tremendous intensity and length on the finish. Based on how previous examples have aged, this vintage should drink well through 2050. Drink 2027-2050.” - Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

“Incredibly ripe, delicious and structured, this age-worthy, collectible wine puts a lot of power in a velvety, refined package. Deep, concentrated black cherries, blackberries, dried blueberries, espresso and creme de cassis are wrapped in a full body and fine-grained, supple tannins strong enough to call for further aging of at least a few years. Best from 2030.” - James Suckling

“The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is insanely beautiful. It’s also one of the very finest wines I have ever tasted here. Bright, pliant and resonant, the 2021 oers a beguiling mix of Cabernet Sauvignon aromatics, generous fruit and gentle structure. Red-toned fruit, blood orange, menthol, pine and sweet spice build into the eternal finish. Drink 2026-2041.” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

“Such a beautifully balanced wine with tremendous staying power and expressive Stags Leap ironstone minerality with heady sagebrush and conifer notes with white pepper and walnut husk. The wine has an impressive depth of red-toned fruit on the mid-palate framed by tannins that practically dance across the palate, exuding length, tension, and power. Huckleberry and black cherry fruits, black truffle, dried violets, graphite, and salted dark chocolate are all framed by racy acidity, which keeps everything fresh and lifted.” - Decanter

“A behemoth of a wine that has incredible cassis, black raspberry, and even blue fruits to go with loads of camphor, minty herbs, graphite, and darker chocolate. It's full-bodied, concentrated, yet pure, flawlessly balanced, and has a great finish.” - Jeb Dunnuck
