"A showy young wine that's smooth, rich and concentrated. Delivers firm, intense yet supple layers of currant, cedar, toasty, cedary oak and tannins that firm up, offering hints of mineral, sage and dusty berry. Best from 2009 through 2013. 32,344 cases made. 92 points" Wine Spectator

"Tasted from magnum. Notable dill and tarry aromas are intense, with vivid blackberry and black cherry fruit, with touches of herb and cedar.--'97 California Cabernet retrospective. Drink now. 2,000 cases made. 86 points" Wine Spectator
