Score 97/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2024

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Backus Vineyard soars from the glass with exotic dark fruit, spice, leather, cedar, tobacco and incense, showing all the signatures of eastern Oakville in its structure and overall poise. There's a bit stronger French oak impact than in some of the other wines, but it all works well. Even so, I think there is quite a bit of untapped potential here.
