93 POINTS- Owen Bargreen: The 2020 ‘Artist Series’ is a flat out fabulous blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon with the remainder Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and a touch of Syrah, Dolcetto and Barbera. The resultant blend is an outstanding wine that was stored in mostly new French oak before bottling. On the nose this takes on toasty oak with black currants, Turkish coffee and dark chocolate shavings. Showing deep concentration and a silky texture, this blend really makes Petit Verdot shine with its massive blue fruits, light green herbs and tannins. Drink 2022-2035 92 POINTS- Vinous: The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Artist Series is dusty and youthfully coy on the nose, lifting from the glass with a bouquet of wild blueberries, sage and mint. It's silky and texturally deep on the palate with tart wild berries and mineral nuances that balance as savory herbal tones collect toward the close. A coating of fine tannins lingers as the 2020 tapers off with a spicy twang and classic feel, leaving licorice and tobacco notes lingering on. The Artist Series Cabernet is refined for 20 months in a combination of new French and Hungarian oak. By Eric Guido on October 2022
