Score 92/100 · Drink 2014-2022, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2014

Dark red cherry, plum, licorice and leather are some of the many notes that blossom in the 2012 Tenacious. Open, supple and expressive, the Tenacious captures the essence of the year in its radiance. The 50% new French oak barrels are very nicely integrated. There is a lot to like in this forward, juicy Merlot/Cabernet Franc blend from Celani and winemaker Mark Herold.

Score 93/100 · Drink 2014-2024, Robert Parker, Oct 2014

Their biggest production, the 2012 Proprietary Red Blend Tenacious (70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc), is probably my favorite wine, with the exception of the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Adore. This is a beauty. Dense, plum/ruby with notes of mulberry, forest floor, fudge, coffee, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, it is dense, opulent, full-bodied, beautifully made, supple and sexy to drink – very much in keeping with the style of 2012.
