Score 92/100 · Drink 2013-2020, Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, Dec 2011

The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon is a gorgeous, fleshy wine graced with expressive dark red fruit, flowers, licorice and mint. This is a beautiful, expressive Cabernet to drink now and over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020. Tel. (707) 967-8128

Score 89-92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2010

Good full ruby. Brooding, dark aromas and flavors of black and blue fruits, licorice and lead pencil. More powerful in the mid-palate than the 2007 but with a creamy texture and noteworthy sweetness and lift. Finishes with firm but ripe tannins, a note of bitter chocolate, and excellent life and length. This may ultimately be more refined than the 2007.
