"A gorgeous young Cabernet, brimming with ripe, rich, vibrant black cherry, blackberry and spicy toasty oak; its flavors are deep and enormously concentrated, coating the palate, holding a tight focus and finishing with remarkable complexity and finesse. Best from 2005 through 2014. 967 cases made. 95 points" Wine Sepctator

"Dark and immense, with deeply concentrated currant, plum and black cherry fruit that's accented by exotic spices and pretty toasty oak scents that unfold, revealing extra facets of depth and complexity. On the finish the fruit is still prominent with rich, chewy tannins and a dash of chocolate. Best from 2007 through 2014. 6,894 cases made. 91 points" Wine Spectator
