Score 92/100 · Drink 2022-2030, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, May 2022

From a vineyard atop Pritchard Hill, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Houyi Vineyard features wonderfully pure scents of Ribena, accented by hints of vanilla and cedar. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied, ripe and round, big and bold, but it shows perhaps less nuance than the Erba Vineyard bottling.

Lots of black fruits, iron oxide, baking chocolate, and some obvious mineral notes emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Houyi Vineyard, a full-bodied, ripe, fruit-bomb of a Napa Valley Cabernet that brings the richness and opulence that only this region can. Drink it over the coming 10-12 years.
