James Suckling: 92 Points

A full-bodied red with chocolate berry and walnut aromas and flavors. Round, creamy tannins and a juicy finish. Very typical Napa fruit here, but laced with chocolate and walnuts. Drink now or hold.

2019 Napa Valley Batch #2019 "The House" Cabernet Sauvignon (Best Buy) Fresh blackcurrant flavors meet savory black-olive and rose-hip notes in this generously textured cabernet. It's fresh, spicy and long, the tannins present providing a mellow sort of tension. For roast quail stuffed with wild mushrooms. - Reviewed by Joshua Greene
