Heather Wall rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Sweet baked berry tart nose reminiscent of a Bumble Berry pie cooling on the window ledge. Palate is smoothing with some lingering warm alcohol, tobacco leaf, and black plum on the finish. This California dark suited Cabernet is one for the cellar and easily entertaining ove rthe next 10+ years. Not a bad $40 investment! If you do open this one sooner than later I suggest decanting at least 2 hours.
Pair with a finer cut of red meat medium-rare.
Tasted: February 2017

Martin Geleynse reviewed this wine as follows:

Absolutely delicious wine that shows just how compelling Sonoma Cabernets can be. Rich, dark and powerful, the 2013 exudes notable depth in its dark stone fruit, savory herb, smoke, leather, spice and tobacco flavors. Drink this racy, intense Cabernet over the next decade or so. Drinking window: 2018-2028. Score - 90
