91 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Always a smoking value, black and blue fruits, currants, darker chocolate, and ripe berry notes all emerge from the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stack House. Based on 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, and 8% Petite Sirah, it's ripe and deeply hued, with a broad, layered texture and ripe tannins. Drink this beautiful wine over the coming 7-8 years."
