95(+?) Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2013

(a blend of 48% cabernet sauvignon, 28% merlot, 14% petit verdot and 10% cabernet franc):  Saturated, bright ruby-red.  Deeper and darker on the nose than the Tychson Hill cabernet, offering vibrant scents of blackcurrant, graphite minerality and bitter chocolate.  At once round and delineated in the mouth, with dark berry and mineral flavors displaying outstanding depth without excess weight.  With its very firm tannic structure, this typically Medoc-like wine will need a good eight to ten years to evolve in bottle and may ultimately merit an even higher rating.  These vines in Madrona Vineyard in St. Helena were planted on an alluvial fan in the 1980s.
