"A massive wine, decadent and splendid, and a worthy followup to the near-perfect 2008. Densely packed in fruit, it explodes in blackberries, cassis, dark chocolate, minerals and sweet, toasty new oak. That richness is lifted to by brilliance by the tannic structure, which is world class. So deliciously approachabel, it's drinkable now, but it should develop over the next 6-8 years."

Wine Advicate, Robert M. Parker, Jr. - December 2005
"The spectacular 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon was performing even better out of bottle than it di from cask, not surprising at this winery. All of these wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered after spending 30+ months in cask. The 2002 is a great example of this fabulously concentrated, rich, California-styled vintage. An opaque purple color is accompanied by aromas of creme de cassis liquer intermixed with smoky oak, blackberries, flowers, and cedar. Massive richness, full body, and good balance along with ripe tannin, fresh acidity, and a persistent finish characterize this 20-25 year wine."
