Review "The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa (20,000 cases produced) may be the finest regular cuvée produced here in nearly two decades. Its dense ruby/purple hue is followed by an opulent bouquet of cassis, blue fruits, crushed rocks, and floral undertones. Pure, juicy, deep, medium to full-bodied and loaded, this 2007 should drink beautifully young, yet keep for 15–20+ years."

Review "Good deep ruby-red. Sweet, open aromas of ripe plum and currant complemented by chocolatey oak. In a fat, lush style, showing the sweetness of the vintage in spades. Not a particularly gripping wine but one that should give considerable early pleasure. The substantial tannins are dusty and fine." Website.

Review "Firm, intense, concentrated and well-structured, with tight dried currant, cedar, dried herb and sage flavors. Full-bodied, gaining depth and range on the finish before the tannins take hold. Best from 2011 through 2020. 20,000 cases made." — J.L.

Review "The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon is richly aromatic with cassis, herbs, mint and even smoke notes showing on the nose, and deeply flavored compote-like dark plum and cassis on the palate. A muscular wine from an excellent vintage. Sees 50 percent new oak, half French and half American, and it's very well integrated."
