Score 86-88/100 · Robert Parker, Apr 2012
This French outpost of California's Kendall-Jackson empire has produced an extracted, dense ruby/purple-colored 2011 that is big, burly, hard and tannic. There is no doubting its level of extract and richness, but the tannins are severe and the oak treatment is elevated. If the wine comes together with time, it could turn out to be outstanding, but I have serious reservations.

Score 15.5/20 · Drink 2016-2024, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, Apr 2012
Ripe and a touch figgy. Similar on the palate with dark chocolate bitter sweetness. Fresh but a little tough on the finish. (JH)
