Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as 95/100 with the following review:

This masterpiece wine is created from grapes grown in the very well respected first growth vineyard in the Napa Valley - "To Kalon" (Ancient Greek - meaning highest vineyard), originally planted in 1868. The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve commemorates the 50th Anniversary of the world renowned winery of Robert Mondavi - this wine is spectacular - well rounded and skillfully crafted with luxurious layers playing together like a well rehearsed symphony. Ruby in the glass with notes and flavors of dark fruit, lavender, violet, mocha, spice, high quality oak and a promise of age worthy potential spanning decades.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
