Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also praised the wine, awarding it 95+ points. The review notes that the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Sunset comes from a rockier block of the vineyard that receives more afternoon sun, making it "a bit riper and concentrated than the other Cabs here." The wine features flavors of "plum, cassis and dark chocolate shadings." It is described as "rich, velvety and long," and is recommended for cellaring.

James Suckling similarly rated the wine 95 points, describing a complex nose of "spiced cherries, blackcurrants, walnuts, currant leaves, ground cloves and hints of cigar box." He also mentions "graphite" and praises the wine's "compact, velvety texture" and "fresher, dark-fruited character." Additional notes include "wet stones, sea shells and iron" which add a "flinty, agile character to the fruit." Suckling concludes that the wine is "balanced and focused" with a "very long" finish, suggesting it will be even better after 2025.

Overall, the 2018 Mayacamas Sunset Cabernet Sauvignon is a highly regarded wine with notable complexity and age-worthiness, praised for both its intensity and elegance.
