Score 90/100 · Drink 2016-2024, Robert Parker, Dec 2015
Sexy, fruit forward and luscious, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Crowley Vineyard has sweet tannin, shows loads of red and black cherry, blackcurrant fruit and a savory, full-bodied mouthfeel with not a hard edge to be found. Both Les Behrens and his wife, Lisa Drinkward, seem to have produced a somewhat Right Bank St. Emilion style of wine in this vintage in Napa. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.

The 2012 Crowley is deep, powerful and explosive, with tons of ripe, racy fruit to match its opulent personality. Sweet red cherry, plum, spice and mint are all up front in a distinctly ripe, oaky wine from Behrens. The 2012 Crowley offers good immediate intensity, but less in the way of complexity.
