95 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2013

(the only one of these cabernets that includes some cabernet franc):  Bright ruby-red.  Lovely floral lift to the aromas of black raspberry, blueberry, smoky minerals and musky brown spices, with a note of coconutty oak emerging with air.  Large-scaled, chewy and rich, showing compelling early sweetness to its dark berry and saline mineral flavors.  Wonderfully velvety, palate-staining wine with enough minerality to maintain its shape and balance.  I found this a step up in concentration from the 2009 release.
