Critics Scores
Wine Enthusiast
Extremely elegant and restrained at first on the nose, this bottling eventually shows gravel and crushed rocks, with hints of blackberry and forest underbrush also emerging. A very firm structure weaves together an incredibly well-integrated wine, with dense mulberry and dried-fennel notes that morph into crushed herbs with time. Drink 2018–2032. Cellar Selection.
Decanter
Dense brambly blackcurrant nose with lots of aromatic punch. Rich, ripe, and seductive, with sweet intense fruit of considerable purity. This has finesse, line, and poise, and good acidity on the finish; classically structured.
Wine Spectator
Firmly built, with structure, focus and density, this offers a mix of taut dark berry, graphite, loamy earth, crushed rock and dried herb. A wine apart from the pack. Best from 2021 through 2035.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (78 Cabernet Sauvignon, 10 Merlot, 10 Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot) is beautiful. Giving up lots of black and blue fruits, tobacco leaf, sweet oak and graphite, this fabulous Santa Cruz Mountain Cabernet is medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated and focused, with fine tannin and impeccable balance. It shows its class on the lengthy finish as well. It's a baby and needs to be forgotten for 4-5 years and will have more than two decades of overall longevity.
