Martin Geleynse rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Latro from Knights Valley is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 20 months in two-thirds new French oak before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. This has a touch of roasted Provençal herbs in it, with some white chocolate and terrific blackcurrant intensity intermixed with a hint of graphite. Full-bodied, opulent and flamboyant, this is a beauty to drink over the next 15 or so years. Drink Date: 2016-2031. Score - 94. (Robert Parker Jr., robertparker.com, Oct. 28, 2016 )
Jane Staples rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

An elegant Cab with dark berry and cassis, dark chocolate and herbal notes- smooth and satiny notes lead to a savoury, elegant finish. Decant, then enjoy with game, or prime rib. Great gift wine; sure to please a Cab lover!

Natalie's Review

Galerie Latro Cabernet Sauvignon 2014, Knights Valley, Sonoma County, California, United States: A gorgeous, balanced, blockbuster of a wine! The 2014 vintage of the Cabernet Sauvignon Latro from Knights Valley is matured 20 months in two-thirds new French oak barrels. It is both unfined and unfiltered. Aromas of ripe black fruit, smoke, and mocha powder. Decant 2 hours. Pair with grilled steak. Wow. Drink: 2018-2024. 574459 14.50% XD 750 mL  $74.95 Score: 94/100.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
