Score 91/100 · Drink 2023-2033, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Dec 2023

Miner's 2017 The Oracle turned up in this year's lineup (more than a year after the 2018). A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc and 7% Merlot, it delivers textbook scents of cassis, black cherries, vanilla and cedar. It's medium to full-bodied, with a long, velvety finish; it just seems to lack that bit of mid-palate richness and depth that would make it extra special.

Spiced dark and blue fruit character with dark licorice, walnuts and dried herbs. Full-bodied, firm and a little chewy with plush and mellow fruit. Chalky and lingering. A blend of 81% cabernet sauvignon, 12% cabernet franc and 7% merlot. Drink or hold.
