JD 95+ (5/2021): The 2017 Klein Bx Vineyard Collection checks in as a blend of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Cabernet Franc, and 28% Merlot, all co-fermented and brought up in a mix of new and used barrels. It's a rich, powerful, concentrated Bordeaux blend delivering lots of red and black fruits, ample leafy herb, tobacco, cedar, and damp earth nuances, full-bodied richness, and a deep, rich, layered texture and mid-palate. There are a lot of ripe tannins on the finish, and it's holding things relatively close to its vest, which can be common in 2017. Give bottles 2-4 years in the cellar and it should drink brilliantly over the following 15 years.Wines of Substance is the Bordeaux side of the K Vintners releases. Drink between 2023-2038.
WA 92 (7/2021): Consisting of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Cabernet Franc and 28% Merlot, the 2017 Bx Klein Vineyard opens with a juicy and oaky essence that sways out of the glass with elements of dusty leather, hints of black olive and roasted plum before offering nuances of vanilla, cardamom and resinous purple flowers. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is juicy, with a distinct mineral tension, fine-grained tannins and lingering spice tones across the mid-palate. The wine concludes with the subtle flavors of worn leather and pencil shavings over the long, complex and juicy finish. The wine rested for 28 months in 73% new French oak barriques.
VM 91+ (12/2020): Moderately saturated medium red. Subtly complex aromas of redcurrant, plum, cherry, mocha, black olive, clove, red licorice, spices and menthol. Thick, spicy and fairly sweet on entry, then much firmer in the middle palate, with the substantial dusty tannins biting down on the fruit and giving grip to the back half. Ultimately quite dry and classic, even if it's also fine-grained. Shows more energy and definition than the Merlots, not to mention more incipient complexity, but has the most serious tannins of all of the current Substance releases. I'd wait until next year to drink this. Drink between 2021-2029. Stephen Tanzer. |

| WA 89 (10/2022): Open-knit and approachable in youth, the 2019 Cs Cabernet Sauvignon is juicy with a mineral essence and a classic beam of dark berry nature with hints of dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the Cabernet is fleshy with an agreeable mid-palate that is balanced, highlighting a fresh, lingering finish that delivers at a great price. Give it a try. |
