91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The opaque purple 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits cassis, charcoal, graphite, and sweet tannins in an exuberant, opulent style that would please both Joe the plumber and the connoisseur. It is deep, fleshy, and best drunk over the next 10-15 years.

None other than the well-known Luc Morlet makes the wines at this winery on Spring Mountain." -Robert Parker (12/2009)

91 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
Dense, chewy, firm and compact. Tightly wound, offering a full body and complex flavors of graphite, blackberry, currant and black licorice, with the fruit pushing through on the finish. Drink now through 2017. 725 cases made. –JL

89-92 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar:
"Saturated bright medium ruby. Ripe black fruit nose shows a slightly syrupy quality. Concentrated, large-scaled and fat but a bit high-toned and chunky-even porty-compared to the Estate wine. The wine's slightly roasted character is leavened by underlying minerality. Finishes with palate-saturating fruit and a boatload of tannins." - Stephen Tanzer (May/June 2008)

92-95 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar:
"Saturated ruby. Captivating nose offers black raspberry, smoke and a hint of game; the first vintage here to avoid herbal aromas. Then fat, dense and substantial, with a chocolatey ripeness to the mouthfilling, layered dark berry flavors. A superb example of powerful mountain fruit, and at a completely different level from the earlier vintages. The superb rising finish features big but thoroughly ripe, silky tannins that coat the cheeks and teeth. This features 75% estate fruit, with much stricter crop thinning practiced during the summer." - Stephen Tanzer (May/June 2008)

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine ('06 vintage):
"A lovely Cabernet Sauvignon that shows its fine mountain pedigree. Accessible now, with decanting, for the upfront blackberry, black currant, plum, sweet cedar and mineral flavors that feel so rich and balanced and drily tannic. Should develop well over the next 6-8 years." - S.H. (2/1/2010)
