Wine Advocate
The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Viking Estate Vineyard was aged for 20 months in 50% new French oak. Medium ruby, it has a core of blackcurrant and Morello cherry with touches of bell pepper, thyme, cedar, dark chocolate and graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, grainy tannins, rounded acidity and a concentrated core of pleasantly herbal fruit. Drink it over the next 3-5 years.

Jeb Dunnuck
The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon showed well, with some serious black fruits, cedarwood, graphite, and spicy wood notes giving way to a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, nicely structured Cabernet Sauvignon that has ripe tannins and a great finish. Aged 20 months in 65% new French oak, it’s a beautiful wine in the making.

Vinous
The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Viking Estate Vineyard has a classic profile, impossibly dark and floral with black currants, earth tones, sage, crushed ashen rocks and the slightest trace of menthol that adds lift. It's seamlessly silky and refined with polished dark red fruits underscored by tactile mineral tones as cocoa comes forward toward the close. The 2020 finishes with dramatic length yet is also incredibly fresh with well-integrated tannins and a licorice, sweet spice flourish.
