92 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2012
(15.9% alcohol): Saturated medium ruby. Brooding aromas of cassis, mocha, mint, licorice and minerals. Suave on entry, then seamless in the mid-palate, with sexy flavors of blackberry, licorice and menthol lifted by a violet quality and complemented by oak. Shows a lighter touch than the Cold Creek cabernet and finishes plush and long, with very suave tannins. This should age well but is already quite sexy.
