Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Review Online (93): The second label from the esteemed Laurel Glen Vineyard, Counterpoint offers juicy plum, raspberry, and cassis that glide across the palate, framed by fine, supple tannins. Bold yet refined, it recalls the style of classic Napa Cabernets of yesteryear — structured, elegant, and unmistakably built for the table — even though it hails from Sonoma. It practically begs for steak and potatoes, so fans of full-bodied reds may want to stock up on a case as their go-to pour. Enjoy Counterpoint now, while the Estate Cabernet takes its time maturing in the cellar.

Owen Bargreen (90): The 2019 Laurel Glen ‘Counterpoint’ Red Wine shows nice poise and balance with medium bodied blackberry and black cherry flavors with plenty of minerals backing things up.

Wine Enthusiast (93): From the vaunted producer, this soft, approachable wine is supple and plush in its youth, ready to unfurl on the palate in baked plum and dark cherry. Baking spice and toasted oak add to the length and grace.
