Reviews and Ratings

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Geyser Peak is always a reliable choice and this Cab Sauv is no exception. Dark fruit and cassis with hints of mint on the nose. Nicely balanced with noticeable fruit on the palate. Just a touch of earthiness on the palate as well. Tannins are still very much in play. This rather bold, California style Cab Sauv is begging for a steak on the side. Very good value. Tasted June 2019. www.thewineloverskitchen.com
Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Nose leads with an awesome mint, menthol, and cinnamon mix, quickly followed by dark fruit and cocoa. Balanced fruit and oak palate has the fruit winning by a narrow margin thanks to potent notes of cassis and blueberry. Tannins have grip, good acidity is nicely integrated, and the full body of 14.5% ABV is masked by the harmonious nature of the wine's structure. An excellent wine offering incredible value when compared to many Cali Cab Sauvs. Lamb chops and sirloin, here is your match.
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Aromas of currant, blackberry, mint and eucalyptus. Full bodied with some firm tannins, and medium+ acidity. Lots of dark berries on the palate as well as a spicy and slightly smoky finish. Enjoy with a grilled steak.
From the Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, Geyser Peak Winery Walking Tree 2015 is a full-bodied, intense Cabernet Sauvignon with ripe blackberry, blueberry, savoury olive, mint, anise and vanilla flavours on the palate. Beautiful now, but could hold for another three years. Awarded Double Gold at the 2019 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. - Community Wine Reviews
