James Suckling 91
This wine offers ripe cassis, blackberries and plums with notes of currant bush and coffee. Medium-to full- bodied with ripe, velvety tannins and a soft, creamy structure. Long, fruity finish.

The Wine Independent 90
The 2019 Master Red is composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 20% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it needs a little coaxing to bring out notes of crushed blueberries, warm plums, and boysenberries plus suggestions of charcoal, Chinese five spice, and wild sage. The medium to full-bodied palate is soft-textured and juicy, with exotic spice-spiked black fruits and a peppery kick on the finish.

Tasting notes
The dark ruby color is enticing. Blackberry and cassis aromas are jumping off the glass. On the palate, it has a concentrated body, harmonious tannins and a black peppery and fresh finish. Intriguing and full body. We recommend pairing it with red meat and all grilling fairs. 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec, 20% Merlot that was aged 20 months in 40% new French oak and 60% in 3-year old oak.
