97 Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Containing a 3% splash of Petit Verdot, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Yao Ming Family Reserve is deep garnet-purple colored and spills seductively out of the glass with compelling crème de cassis, plum preserves and baked cherries scents plus hints of mocha, menthol, underbrush and cedar chest. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated in the mouth, the palate delivers layer after layer of vibrant black fruit preserves, framed by firm yet velvety tannins and tons of freshness, finishing very long.

Including slightly more Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Yao Ming Family Reserve is 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot brought up all in new French oak. It's a beautiful, full-bodied effort that shines for its purity and balance as well as its classic crème de cassis, spicy oak, graphite, and cedar aromas and flavors. It's a sexy, flamboyant effort that will drink nicely for 15-20 years.

A soft and sultry wine that's blended with 3% Petit Verdot, this bold red was aged two years in entirely new French oak. Soy, black fruit and leather make for an intensely flavored expression of powerful density and concentration, with supple, supportive tannins.
