Score 94/100 · Drink 2022-2037, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2020

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Alluvial Selection Estate brings together notable textural richness that runs through all these wines with a good deal of aromatic top notes and overall nuance. Sweet red cherry, flowers, spice, new leather and menthol are all beautifully layered in this expressive, mid-weight Cabernet Sauvignon.

Score 88/100 · Drink 2019-2028, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Oct 2019

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Alluvial Selection features aromas of mincemeat pie, prunes, dried cherries and raisin cake with wafts of hoisin and cloves. The palate is medium to full-bodied with the subtly expressed dried berries and savory flavors subdued by the firm, rugged tannins. It finishes with a pleasant spiciness but is a little astringent.
