Robert Parker: Deep garnet-purple colored, pure blackcurrants, blackberries and wild blueberries notes jump from the glass, with hints of cedar, clove oil and red roses. Medium to full-bodied, taut and with fine-grained tannion. it has a lovely freshness and expressiveness, finishing with a peppery kick.

Jeb Dunnuck: The deep purple-hued 2019 Red Belnd Black Label is an interesting blend of 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Syrah, 22% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Malbec, all from the estate vinyard on Howell Mountain. It offers up some subtle reductive, lactic notes that blow off with air to reveal an almost Saint-Emillion-like bouquet of ripe red and black fruits, chocolate, smoked tobacco, and hints of iron. Ripe, opulent, and full-bodied on the palate, it excels on its silky, polished tannins and terrific overall balance.
