Dave rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Took a while to open up but was fantastic with a filet
Martin Geleynse rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

The opulent, fleshy, sexy, consumer friendly 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as oodles of blackcurrant fruit intermixed with floral and blueberry notes. Lush and plush, it can be drunk now or cellared for 10-15 years, although such well-balanced and forward wines as this can sometimes age two decades or more. Score - 92. (Robert Parker Jr., robertparker.com, Oct. 2014)
Jane Staples rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A full-bodied Napa Cab Sauv with a fragrant ripe cassis& strawberry nose and delicious palate of ripe cassis, strawberry, vanilla, milk chocolate and slight mint. Smooth, harmonious and well-balanced with a long ripe cassis finish. This one is definitely on my list for Santa!
Tasted Nov 2015
Matt Steeves rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Rich and decadent, the nose is full of sweet baking spices, mocha, stewed dark fruit, and espresso notes. Full-bodied, rich, and juicy, this premium Napa Cab would be fantastic paried with grilled New York strip loin, or alongside prime rib roast. Tasted November 2014. 92 points.

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.
