92 RP "This wine possesses a profoundly deep ruby/purple color exhibiting no signs of age. A sweet, jammy, blackcurrant, truffle, licorice, and vanillin-scented nose is youthful as well as expressive. Full-bodied, structured, and rich, with high tannin and equally high levels of fruit, glycerin, and extract, this is an atypically youthful, well-balanced California Cabernet that is just beginning to open and reveal secondary nuances and flavors." 90 WS Shows the same ripe, vibrant cherry, wild berry and spice flavors that have made it likable ever since its release. What it may lack in tannin and extraction, compared to the réserve, it makes up in youthful vitality…
