Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2012
(blended with 4% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot): Classic cabernet aromas of cassis, licorice, minerals and violet. Supple and sweet, with moderate nuance but good balance to the cassis and mint flavors. Finishes with dusty tannins and good length. Nicely done for the price--and there are 80,000 cases of this juice!
