Score 91/100 · Drink 2013-2023, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2011

Winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown crafts these wines for Michael Chiarello, who is best known as the chef and owner of Bottega in Yountville. These are decidedly flashy, ripe Cabernets loaded with super-ripe fruit. The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Bambino is a huge wine bursting with super-ripe dark berries, plums, spices and licorice. It is a round, supple wine endowed with gorgeous richness and a full-bodied, extroverted personality. Fine, silky tannins wrap around the juicy finish.
