Ratings & Reviews
95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2010 Vintage):
"There are only 250 cases and it comes from what appears to be the finest vintage of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon between 2007 and 2012. It boasts a deep ruby/purple color along with notes of charcoal, white chocolate and creme de cassis, a full-bodied opulence, impeccable purity, decent acidity and ripe tannin that nicely frames the wine. This serious, rich Cabernet Sauvignon is as exceptional as one would expect from this winemaking genius." - Robert M. Parker, Jr. (Oct 2013)
94 Points - Vinous Media (2010 Vintage):
"Michel Rolland's 2010 Red Wine a Cabernet Sauvignon impresses for its persistence and balance. Soft, silky and generous for the year, the 2010 boasts terrific purity and tons of textural finesse. Dark raspberries, plums, mint and licorice all wrap around the inviting finish. This is an especially soft, supple wine for the year. At the same time, there is gorgeous freshness in the glass as the wine become more and more expressive over time.

92 Points - James Suckling (2010 Vintage):
"A red with stony, red-fruit character. It shows a nice balance between acidity and tannins. Medium to full body. Lots of spice and hints of animal. Drink or hold." - (May 15th, 2014)
