2/23/2015 - no leashes wrote: 91 pointsDelicious nicely mature cab, with dark cherry, earth, cassis and glycerin, beautifully balanced. Fine tannins give way to long smooth finish. Drinking beautifully right out of the bottle. |

9/6/2014 - bestdamncab wrote: 94 pointsTasting 5 Red Wines at Premier Cru. The vineyard is near Heitz Marthas, and is the winery's first bottling and my second time tasting it this week. it had a rich, ripe sweet but not forward cabernet sauvignon nose with a hint of mint, concentrated in the mouth with berry fruit that featured hints of stems and mint, the finish showed enough tannins and acid among the cabernet flavors to go seven years, Should be near elegant at worst and elegant at best for the patient-kissing cousin to Dunn. My #2 cabernet. |

8/6/2014 - ucbeau wrote: 86 pointsThe tale of two wines. Upon opening, it was very nice. Still plenty of freshness surrounding cassis, leather, dusty soil, and black cherry. After about 2 hours it became undrinkable due to brettanomyces. So, the first part of the wine was a 90, the latter an 80, and that's being generous. |

3/14/2014 - mxpbuy Likes this wine: 92 pointsFrom a D-Mag. The wine looked very young and it took an hour in the decanter to start to fully come around. Plenty of cassis/licorice to go with the blackberries. Some leather notes and a long finish. Smooth but still a young wine in this format. |

9/25/2013 - JDV.DDSPHD Likes this wine: 95 pointsI don't know what happened to this winery but the wine was amazing. The nose and the sense of power was moving this along. Black cherry and earthy tones. I can't believe this wine is 19yrs old. It is still a baby and fantastic. I wish I could find a case of this because it truly was a rewarding cabernet. Great effort and wine. |

4/16/2013 - glindskog Likes this wine: 94 pointsA positive surprise. More mature/tertiary notes on the nose than on the palate. Wonderful ripe and sweet blackcurrant but plenty of balancing acidity and fine mellow tannins. Smokey and jammy notes reveals age. The ripe fruit lingers a very long time - impressive throughout. Drinking perfectly now but if you have plenty there is no rush. |

7/19/2012 - Barnaby33 wrote: NRIf you like old cab, you'll love this. I should start by saying this will not wow the way an 87 Dunn Napa would. Its become very light, however it is beautifully balanced. The fruit was still there, though it did take 10 minutes to open up and started shutting down after an hour or so. On the other hand the hints of leather and tobacco, a touch of herbal and the tannin structure were all there in harmony. I'd drink what you have in the next 2 years or so, but what a great experience. So much less oaky than the mid-to-late 90s renditions of Oakford. |

4/21/2012 - mdp.blue wrote: 89 pointsDeep, deep cherry. Decanted for three hours ahead of first taste. Five hours in started to get a bit of cocoa. Minerals on the nose and taste, light and consistent. A hint oF eucalypus. The wine is past it's prime and I knew that at time of purchase. Great value for me but I would suggest that if you have the 1997, drink now. |
