94 points Wine Spectator: "[$200 list] Dense and firm, this gutsy red shows a nice flex behind the tannins, with rich flavors of dark berry, dark chocolate, cedar and melted black licorice. The signature minty trait presents itself for now as a bay leaf and black tea aroma. Drink now through 2028. 1,330 cases made. (6/15/12)"

94 points California Grapevine: "[$200 list] Medium-dark ruby color; very attractive, forward, intense, complex, cassis and dark berry fruit aroma with hints of mint, eucalyptus, cedar, dried herbs, and graphite; full body; initially a bit soft and fleshy with intense, elegant, herbal, cedary, current and dark berry fruit flavors that tend to tighten a bit on the finish; medium-full to full tannin; lingering aftertaste. Well balanced and structured for bottle aging, though also very enjoyable to taste now. Very highly recommended. 14.5% alcohol; 1,331 cases; 100% Cabernet Sauvignon; released February 2012. (May 2012)"

Producer notes: "[$200 list] The 2007 Martha’s is a luscious cabernet with an enticing aroma of mint, plum and summer blueberries. Full-bodied with layers of complexity, this wine is beautifully balanced allowing all the pure, elegant flavors to be appreciated and enjoyed. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Oak aging: 3-1/2 years. Certified Organic. Alcohol 14.5%."
