Score 92/100 · Drink 2016-2026, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Jun 2016

While the 2013 was brought up all in French oak, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve was raised mostly in French oak, with a small portion of American oak. It’s another high quality effort from this estate that has a modern, rich, textured style as well as beautiful notes of black currants, spice-box, graphite and chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, fresh and nicely balanced, it will drink well for at least a decade.

Score 90/100 · Drink 2017-2023, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Nov 2015

(aged for 26 months in 100% new French oak): Bright ruby-red. Inviting aromas of cassis, black plum, blueberry and dark-chocolatey oak. Smooth, youthful and fresh, with the sweet oak element nicely supported by intense berry fruit. A very fine-grained, firmly tannic Cabernet with excellent depth and subtle persistence.
