Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
From a vineyard located in Oakville, off the Silverado Trail, sandwiched between two high-rent addresses, Screaming Eagle and Rudd Estate, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Harbison Vineyard is composed of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest other Bordeaux varietals. Copious notes of blackberries, blueberries, white chocolate, espresso, truffles and lead pencil shavings emerge from this full-bodied 2012. Along with the huge body, it offers an exuberant, expressive mouthfeel, loads of glycerin and sweet tannin. This killer effort should drink well for 16-25 years. (RP)

Wine Spectator
Gushes with an intense mix of blackberry, black licorice and currant flavors, offering seductive, mocha-laced oak and subtle spice scents. Gains depth and builds in complexity, all the while remaining elegant and refined. (JL)

Bevan's 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Harbison Vineyard is quite attractive, but it comes across as a bit compact next to the other wines in this range. Dark red cherry, plum, graphite and spice notes abound in a juicy, accessible Cabernet Sauvignon that appears to be suited to near and medium-term drinking. (AG)
