Reviews:
- Vinous: The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Hen Vineyard No. 2 is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Red cherry, plum, mocha an wild flowers are pushed forward in this racy, resonant Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2017 offers terrific depth while retaining the mid-weight feel that is such a signature of these wines.
- Jeb Dunnuck: Complex notes of red and black fruits, saddle leather, dried flowers, and earth all emerge from the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Hen Vineyard. These carry to a medium-bodied, nicely textured, elegant red with Old World charm. Enjoy bottles over the coming decade.
