Decanter, 94 points: Savoury notions of pine and undergrowth join lovely dark fruit on the nose, and American oak adds even more aroma by way of vanilla and coconut. The palate is juicy, full, aromatic and ripe, but there's structure to hold...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: 97+ The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon 55% Slope comes from the Sonoma side of the Mayacamas Mountains. It is 100 % Cabernet Sauvignon from a vineyard planted at 1,700 feet. This is a remarkable wine and reminiscent of the great...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: (93-95) In two separate tastings, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Jamie comes across as a bit closed, which suggests it probably is due for a racking. Still, there is plenty of intensity and breadth in the plush, rich...
