Score 91/100 · Drink 2016-2031, Robert Parker, Dec 2015
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet, aged in 60% new French oak. There are 240 cases of this elegant, stylish Cabernet Sauvignon, which has a dark ruby/purple color and notes of blackcurrants, lead pencil shavings and a touch of new oak, followed by a full-bodied, ripe wine with creamy tannins and nicely integrated acidity and alcohol. This wine is showing well already, as one might expect of the precocious and alluring 2012s. It can be drunk now or cellared for another 12-15 years.
