Score 95/100 · Drink 2025-2036, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2023
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Switchback Ridge is a powerful, explosive wine with a ton of tannin. Ripe red cherry, pomegranate, spice, blood orange and new leather all race across the palate. Vertical in its construction, the 2021 is endowed with a formidable tannin structure that needs to soften. I expect this will always remain a pretty potent, brooding wine.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Switchback Ridge is gorgeous and also very promising. Deep, dense and layered, the 2021 flows across the palate with red berry fruit, pomegranate, mint, spice and coffee. There's so much to look forward to.
