Acclaim
"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Y Series opens with notes of fresh black currants, blueberries and plums with menthol, cinnamon toast and pencil lead nuances. Medium-bodied, it’s not shy on the structure with a solid backbone of medium to firm grainy tannins and refreshing acid supporting the taut, muscular fruit, finishing with good length."
— Wine Advocate, Apr 2014
"Deep ruby. Ripe cherry and blueberry scents, along with notes of mocha, licorice and black pepper. Spicy, focused dark fruit flavors betray some heat and pick up a smoky quality with air. Finishes with good cut, dusty tannins and lingering spiciness."
— Vinous, Jul 2014
