92-94 points Robert Parker: "This powerful, dense, full-bodied 2008 is still backward and unevolved, but it possesses a dense purple color as well as sweet aromas of creme de cassis, vanillin, crushed rocks, and flowers. With high but ripe tannin and a long finish, this wine will benefit from 5-8 years of cellaring, and should keep for three decades thereafter." (04/09) 90-93 points Wine Spectator: "There's beautiful purity of fruit in this young wine, with blackberry and raspberry on the nose and hints of toasty oak. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and silky tannins. Turns fresh and lively, with sweet fruit on the finish" (Tasting Highlight, 04/09) K&L's notes - *˝+ 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. More blackberry nuances here. Fine palate entry. Some black licorice and cola aromas. Finishes with red fruit flavors. On the elegant side.
