The 2018 vintage has garnered positive reviews from notable wine critics. The Wine Independent awarded the wine a score of 91, describing it as "deep garnet-purple colored" with an initial closed character that soon reveals "notes of stewed black plums and black cherry preserves." The review also mentions underlying hints of "tar, rubber, Sichuan pepper, and bacon rind, with a touch of dried herbs." The palate is noted for being "jam packed with pepper-laced black fruits" supported by "ripe, rounded, approachable tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and savory."

Similarly, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave the wine a score of 90. The review highlights the blend of six different grape varieties and describes an "attractive mélange of berry fruit, asphalt, black olive, cinnamon, and vanilla." The wine spent 22 months in French oak, 42% of which was new, contributing to its flavor profile. The review further characterizes the wine as "full-bodied, ripe, and velvety but then a bit tart and simply fruity on the finish."

Overall, the 2018 La Sirena Pirate TreasuRed Blend is a well-received wine that offers a complex and robust flavor profile. The combination of various grape varieties and the extended oak aging result in a wine that is both rich and approachable, with a long, savory finish. Its positive reviews from The Wine Independent and Robert Parker's Wine Advocate highlight its strong attributes, making it a noteworthy choice for those seeking a quality red blend from Napa.
