Wine Enthusiast
Reviewed December 2009One for the cellar. Shows a dramatic structure of firm, dusty tannins, brightened with acidity, framing complex, long and deep flavors of black currants, cassis, dark unsweetened chocolate, smoky cedar, anise and spices, undergirded by a firm minerality. *Cellar Selection*

Wine Advocate
The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a backward, dense purple-hued effort displaying plenty of licorice, black currant, smoke, and charcoal characteristics, along with full-bodied power, a layered, opulent mouthfeel, and moderate tannin in its youthful finish. (RP)

James Suckling
Lots of spicy wood and ripe fruit, with hints of fresh mushrooms on the nose that turns to licorice and blueberries. Full bodied with velvety tannins, but slightly short on the finish. Should fill in with some bottle age.
WS
Wine Spectator
Sleek and complex, full-bodied and Bordeaux-like, with an earthy mineral edge to the dried berry and currant flavors that are subdued and tightly wound, ending with earthy tannins. (JL)
