90 points Wine Spectator: "Really juicy and ripe, with fleshy layers of sweet raspberry and boysenberry fruit riding along red licorice, fruitcake and a nicely embedded vanilla streak. Long, polished finish. Very tasty. Drink now through 2010." (08/08) A "Cellar Selection" from Wine Enthusiast: "Put this on the scale and watch it tip. It’s a monster of a Cab that’s quite tannic and therefore narrow on the palate. But if given time in a good cellar it may soften into something much more evolved than it is now. Early openers should expect black fruit in spades, with nail-like tannins. Best to have a steak on the grill if you are drinking this any time soon." (9/1/2008) From Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Apalta Vineyard “Cuvee Alexandre” is a dense crimson-color with an expressive bouquet of pain grille, pencil lead, spice box, black cherry, and black currants. More structured than the Merlot, it will evolve for 2-3 years. The wine’s black fruit flavors linger into a medium-long finish. Drink it through 2016." (Oct. 2008)
