Reviews and Ratings

Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This wine exhibits great value and great balance. I love a good California Cabernet Sauvignon and this wine is one of the reasons I do. I actually got to visit this winemaker when I was in St. Helena, so I am partial. On the palate it has big jammy flavours of blackberry and plums, spicy and oaky. If that's how you like your Cabernet Sauvignon, you will like this wine as much as I do.
Dan Trcka Wine Blogger rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

The 2010 Louis M. Martini Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from the Sonoma County, has intense aromas of blackberry, black currant, toasted oak, coconut and vanilla. It is medium bodied, integrated, has good acidity and refined tannins (decant for 15 min), and a long silky finish. It is food friendly; drink now to 2018. My impression: NICE, 89 pts – recommended based on quality/value ratio – on Limited Time Offer for $2 off until April 1st/13. Tasted March/13.
