Score 90/100 · Drink 2014-2027, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2014

Dark cherries, raspberry jam, spices, cedar and smoke all flesh out in the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon. Opulent and expressive to the core, the 2012 offers tons of immediacy and pure voluptuousness. The creamy, expansive finish adds to the wine's considerable appeal.

Score 90/100 · Drink 2014-2024, Robert Parker, Oct 2014

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa, which is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot and aged in 80% new French oak, shows notes of chocolate, mocha and dark espresso roast along with classic tobacco leaf and blackcurrant notes. It’s deep, medium to full-bodied, dense and quite delicious already. Drink it over the next decade.
