90 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon The Maitre D’ was raised in 50% new French and American oak for 11 months. Opaque purple-colored with legs that ooze down the glass, it displays a reticent bouquet that with coaxing reveals wood smoke, violets, black currant and blackberry. This is followed by a full-bodied wine with a glossy texture, succulent fruit, and excellent concentration. This pleasure bent effort can be enjoyed over the next 6-8 years." (Dec 09) A Cabernet-lover’s dream with layers of dark fruit, dark chocolate and spice with silky tannins. Superb depth and concentration, as well as a super long finish puts this wine into overdrive! Classic Cabernet characteristics of dark berry, scorched earth and menthol combine with plush fruit, liquorice, oak vanilla and spice. It's a joy to drink from the first glass to the last.
