94 Points from Paul Gregutt, former contributor editor for Wine Enthusiast and now publisher of Paul Gregutt’s NW Wine Guide:

"A dark, beefy wine, with a core of packed blackberry fruit. Tight and hard through the finish – all these Pamplin Cabs are compressed – reductive – and need aggressive aeration. High quality fruit, careful winemaking, but inaccessible at first. This opens up slowly and drinks best after 48 hours. It reminds me of some of Rick Small’s Woodward Canyon Cabs – made for the cellar."
