Score 92/100 · Drink 2026-2031, Billy Norris, Vinous, Jan 2026

The 2019 Red Blend Faultline Vineyard is a meaningfully better wine than the 2019 Oliver’s tasted alongside. There’s still ample freshness and clarity to the dark-toned, cassis-laden fruit. Sweet plum and vanilla-like oak call back to a showier winemaking style, but the 2019 is in a lovely spot to drink now. A heady lift of menthol drives things home.

Score 94/100 · Drink 2025-2045, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Oct 2024

The 2019 Faultline Vineyard is composed mainly of Cabernet Franc and Merlot with a small portion of Cabernet Sauvignon. Matured for 18 months in 70% new French oak, it has intense aromas of red and black currants, tobacco and bay leaves, aniseed and dried flowers. The full-bodied palate features concentrated, detailed, spicy flavors. It’s structured by plush tannins and seamless acidity and has a long, flavorful finish. 345 cases produced.
