James Suckling Review - Rated 97:
Blackcurrant and dark fruit are layered with pine cone, bark and pine needle, giving the bouquet notable depth and intensity. Round, polished tannins feel creamy across the medium- to full-bodied palate. The finish is complex and richly flavored, and additional bottle age will help the wine fully open.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Review - Rated 95:
Cedar, pine, black cherry, blueberry and cassis reflect the mountain-grown character of this Cabernet-led blend. The palate is fresh, smooth and silky at first, then firms into a more structured shape. Dusty tannins carry the lingering finish, and the wine has the balance to age for two decades or more.
Wine Spectator Review - Rated 94:
Wine Spectator’s established 94-point score remains part of the exact-vintage critic record. It follows the three higher ratings on the product page while remaining outside the three storefront metafields.
