91 Points James Suckling
A fresh and balanced cabernet that has good poise. Some fresh herbs, spices, some plums and fresh currants. Juicy and bright on the palate with a nice peppery twist. Nothing ambitious here, but very poised and drinkable. A more classic vintage that has the vibrancy. Drink now.
 
90 Points Wine Spectator
Bold, this is brimming with roasted espresso bean and spiced blackberry pastry notes up front, which fold over onto the rich palate. Reveals plum and toasted herb accents, finishing with nice length and round tannins. Drink now through 2033. 30,000 cases made, 5,000 cases imported.
 
Winemaker Notes
Red wines are not just for colder months. Medalla Real Gold Medal Cabernet Sauvignon is a lighter style of cabernet with bright red cherry and sliced berry aromas, as well as a sheen of vanilla scented oak.
 
Food Pairings
Pairs well with grilled meats, red pastas and sharp cheeses.
