Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

A beautifully balanced and flavourful Cabernet Sauvignon, with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, eucalyptus, cedar, cigar box, and leather. Full bodied, with soft tannins, and bright acidity, dark berry notes are ripe and rounded, with savoury and spicy hints on a lengthy finish. Enjoy with prime rib.

Natalie's Review

Big Head Wines Cabernet Sauvignon Select 2020, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: Big Head Cabernet Sauvignon Select offers impressive depth and structure, delivering concentrated black cherry, blackberry and mocha notes with hints of cedar and spice. The tannins are firm yet smooth, giving it excellent aging potential. This wine doesn’t need a passport to prove its identity – it has all the confidence of a world traveler who still remembers exactly where home is. I’d pair this with slow-braised short ribs where the meat falls off the bone after hours of gentle cooking in a rich sauce of red wine, root vegetables and fresh herbs, the gamey sweetness of the bison complementing the wine’s robust character. Drink: 2025-2027. 15.30% D 750 mL $69.80 Score: 95/100. March 29, 2025 Top Rated Red Wine. Full Review
