91 Wine Advocate - Wine Advocate

Composed of a blend of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Red Wine Reckoning displays dusty dark fruit aromas in the glass with hints of graphite, roasted black plum and cherry before a soft notion of savory herbs, pencil shavings and baked earth sway from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the still-tight tannins will benefit from additional bottle aging after release, so give it time. The wine rested for 20 months in 80% new French oak barrels.

19+ Rand Sealey - Rand Sealey's Review of Washington Wines

Composed of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot from the Red Willow, Mays Discovery and Stillwater Creek vineyards, this wine offers a semi opaque ruby-crimson color and intoxicating aromas of wild blackberry, cherry, plum, black currant, crushed black roses, sweet tobacco, mulberry, sandalwood, anise, vanillin, rubbed sage and sweet incense. The flavors are mouth filling and deep cored marked by licorice, dark cocoa, French roast and variegated minerals and earth. The penetration continues on the back with sensations of macerated fruits, roasted walnuts, mocha, toasty oak and pencil lead, all gliding seamlessly into a lingering, opulent, spiced yet precise ripe tannin finish. 19+/20 points.
