Josh Raynolds, November 2011, Score: 95+
Glass-staining ruby. Powerful, pungent aromas of cherry-vanilla, cassis, candied licorice and graphite, along with a suave floral oil quality that gains strength with air. Deeply pitched dark berry flavors show a liqueur-like intensity, as well as notes of smoky Indian spices, violet and vanilla. Ripe but quite vibrant, wih superb finishing clarity and persistence. This extremely young wine makes the case that high alcohol isn't a prerequisite for intensity or power in California cabernet.

Jancis Robinson, June 2009, Score: 18
Bright crimson. Tight and savoury on the nose. Lots of spice. Wonderful racy breed with interesting prunes-in-armagnac flavours. Very dry and sappy on the finish. Lovely silky texture. Marked acidity. Rather Lafite-like. Great reverberation on the finish. Very fine.
