Raymond Chi rated this wine as 88/100

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

Big ripe red fruit and bold spice aromas. Tannins are dominating the palate showcasing more pronounced notes of anise, nutmeg, cocoa, and cedar. Black plum and cassis flavours do eventually open up in the glass. If drinking this full-bodied value priced red now, decant an hour prior to serving. Enjoy with braised beef sliders.

Michelle Cold Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Columbia Valley, Washington, United States: The 2012 vintage of the robust Washington Cabernet Sauvignon Cold Creek Vineyard is made from vines planted in 1973. The vines enjoy the ideal sun exposure facing south on a warm site nestled in the Columbia Valley. Aromas of black fruit, spice and toasty oak. Decant 1-2 hours and pair with prime rib.
