Score 98/100 · Drink 2028-2040, Eric Guido, Vinous, Oct 2024

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain Estate is a showstopper, opening with a mentholated freshness and mixing dried herbs, cedar shavings, black cherries and cloves. This impresses further with its poise and refinement, silken and pure, with crisp red berry fruits and tactile mineral tones. Rosy inner florals combine with autumnal spice and hints of licorice as the 2021 finishes long and tannic yet remarkably fresh. I would never guess this came from Red Mountain given how silky these tannins are. Wow. Todd Alexander is a master of his craft.

A new release for this team, the 2021 Cabernet Franc Red Mountain Estate comes from a single parcel on the estate vineyard and was brought up in 75% new French oak. Stunningly pure, medium to full-bodied, and concentrated, it has a layered, intense, complex nose of black raspberries, cassis, spring flowers, and crushed stone. Easily one of the finest examples of the variety I've tasted from Washington state. Drink this stunner over the coming 15-20 years.
