WA The Wine Advocate: 93 Points
Assuming pricing remains stable, Caterwaul's 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley—a 14,000-case blend this year—should remain one of the valley's greatest values. Boasting wonderful purity of fruit—black cherries and cassis—plus floral-herbal nuances, it's full-bodied, rich and velvety, maybe a bit open-knit but flavorful and structured, with a lasting finish.

Crème de cassis, graphite, sweet tobacco, and sweet, loamy earth notes all define the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, a nicely textured, layered, pure, seamless barrel sample.

Rock solid Cab here, offering a steady beam of warmed cassis and cherry reduction notes laced with a loamy accent to keeps it grounded. Dark tobacco and a flash of walnut husk add range through the finish hasn't fully unwound just yet. Best from 2026 through 2036.
