Critic Ratings

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 95:

Wine Advocate finds the 2017 Martha's Vineyard Cabernet classically proportioned, with eucalyptus and vanilla framing cassis and black-cherry fruit. The medium- to full-bodied palate is firmly and aristocratically structured, maintaining a streamlined shape rather than excessive weight. A long, silky-textured finish gives this vintage both polish and aging potential.

Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 94:

Wine Enthusiast describes an agile, muscular Cabernet energized by nervy acidity and braced by lively tannins. Red cherry and raspberry flavors are layered with smoky tea, sage, and cedar while the body remains elegant and controlled. The review recommends enjoying it from 2026 through 2040.
