James Suckling: 96 Points

A rather bold red with blackcurrant, pine-cone and bark character on the nose and palate. Full-bodied with juicy, velvety tannins. Walnut undertones. Hints of dark earth. Mushrooms, too. Needs time to come together, but already a beauty. Try in 2024.

Jeb Dunnuck: 94 Points

There are two Bordeaux variety releases, both beautiful wines. The 2017 The Mark checks in as 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, all brought up in new barrels. This smoky, gravelly mineral (almost Graves-like) effort has loads of ripe dark fruits as well as medium to full body, a complex, nuanced bouquet, terrific purity, and integrated, ripe tannins. It’s a classic, balanced Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley to enjoy over the coming 15+ years or more.
