94 points Jeb Dunnuck"The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Ambervale has plenty of classic Cabernet currant and cassis fruits as well as a complex underbelly of cedarwood, forest floor, tobacco, and violets. These all carry to a medium to full-bodied Cabernet...

91 points Wine Spectator"A richly styled white, with attractive notes of lemon pulp and warm apple, plus a hint of grilled pineapple. Everything is washed over with refreshing saline brininess and a wall of minerals. A kiss of honey and salted butter...

94 points Decanter"New from Casa Castillo, this comes from younger Monastrell (85%) and Garnacha vines, fermented with about one third whole bunches and indigenous yeasts, followed by 12 months in 500L barrels and 5,000L vats. Youthful with lovely...
