90 points Wine Spectator: "Very ripe, exhibiting generous, plush blackberry and wild berry that pushes toward jam without reaching it, with a touch of herb. Shows the suppleness that comes from bottle age. Drink now through 2022. 400 cases made. (11/15/12)"

Producer notes: "97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc. A beautiful nose showing fresh, dark fruits, a little spiced caramel, and crushed floral notes. On the palate, it's all about the fruit. There's plenty of plum, dark cherry, cassis, and black currant that's interlaced with spice and subtle new oak. Although concentrated, the wine has great structure and good acidity. 420 cases produced."
