90 points and 'Editors' Choice,' Wine Enthusiast: "[$25 list] A pretty, polished and tasty wine for drinking now. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, it’s dry, full-bodied and smooth, with blackberry, currant, dark chocolate, green olive and oak flavors. Alcohol 14.2%. (May 2013)"

90 points Wine & Spirits: "[$25 list] Floral scents of violets brighten this wine’s dark tones, lifting the bass notes of tannins and their generous dark-roast coffee character. It’s full in the middle, lightening up in the finish, ready to pour with hanger steak. (Jun 2013)"

Producer notes: "Comprised of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from grapes grown on our estate hillside vineyards (30%) in conjunction with grapes from other mature, high-quality, low-yielding Napa Valley Cabernet vineyards located on the valley floor. We've found the resulting blend to produce a wine that displays a broad spectrum of aromas, flavors, and textures that Cabernet can show in the Napa Valley."
