critical acclaim:
"The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, which comes from multiple fruit sources in Rutherford, Oakville, Yountville, Coombsville, Oak Knoll and Carneros, was aged in 100% new French oak. A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it exhibits an opaque purple color, great intensity and a sweet nose of blue and black fruits intermixed with toasty oak, lead pencil shavings and forest floor. Rich, layered and full-bodied with silky tannins, this broad, savory 2008 should drink well for 15 or more years."

The Wine Advocate
"Remarkable for its complex aromas of roasted coffee, dried herb, dark berry, mocha and sage, yet for all its size this is quite graceful and elegant, even delicate, with a long, tapered finish where the flavors glide along smoothly. Drink now through 2021."
94 Points
Wine Spectator
"Bright medium ruby. Blueberry, licorice and violet on the nose, along with a strong mineral component. Higher-pitched and less dense than the 2007, with a distinctly cooler, juicy quality to the black fruit, fresh herb and pepper flavors. Classy wine, but with a bit less stuffing to cover its firm tannins. 90-92 points."
