Robert Parker 94 pts The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, with small proportions of Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot. It's ripe and rich, with plenty of cassis, hints of cinnamon and cedar and nuances of bay leaf on the nose. Full-bodied and velvety, it's remarkably easy to drink, finishing mouthwatering and long.
Robert Parker 94 pts Medium ruby in color, the 2019 Pinot Noir Sea Field Vineyard has detailed, alluring scents of blood orange, strawberries and raspberries with accents of cracked pepper, salumi and angostura bitters. The medium-bodied palate features loads of finely grained tannins and refreshing acidity that highlights its perfume and spicy accents on the extended finish.
Robert PArker 95 pts Medium ruby, the 2019 Pinot Noir Royal St. Robert is bursting with alluring cranberries, rhubarb and strawberries with nuances of charcuterie, tangerine peel, black tea leaves and dried roses. The medium-bodied palate offers layer after layer of spicy red fruit, supported by fine, silty tannins and finishing with uplifting freshness and perfume that calls you in again and again for another sip.
Robert Parker 100 pts Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2019 Scarecrow hits the ground running with bold expressions of crème de cassis, wild blueberries and chocolate-covered cherries plus hints of dried herbs, tilled soil and crushed rocks with a fragrant undercurrent of Indian spices. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is laden with layer upon layer of tightly packed mineral-sparked black fruit flavors, framed by super plush tannins and absolutely seamless freshness, finishing long, long, long. This expression of the venerable J.J. Cohn vineyard—including vines planted in 1945 by John Daniel and dry farmed—is pure magic. 2,000 cases were made.
