James Suckling 92pt

This is firm and linear, showing a solid core of fruit and a rich palate with a bit of alcohol showing. It's full-bodied with lots of fruit and intensity. Creamy, ripe tannins. Slightly hot finish, but stays together.

Wine Advocate 92pt

A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Corbin has been aged for approximately 18 months in oak barrels, 50% new. It has 15% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple in color, it bursts from the glass with bold notions of blueberry coulis, baked black plums and blackberry pie, plus suggestions of incense, ground cloves, violets and camphor. The rich, full-bodied palate is ready for business, featuring bags of black fruit preserves and a velvety texture, finishing with plenty of freshness and a spicy kick.

Wine Enthusiast 93pt

This is a dense wine with big tannins and spice from the new wood, melded with rich black fruits and acidity. It is a step up for this property, showing the potential of its fine terroir.
