Rated 96 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon 88 Keys is a dramatic and extroverted style of wine. It has a deep, ruby/purple color, loads of floral notes intermixed with black raspberry and blackcurrant fruit. The wine hits the palate with a cascade of lush fruit, full-bodied intensity, no hard edges, velvety tannin and a long, long finish. This is an impressive, well-endowed blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot aged an unusually long time of 32 months in 100% new French oak. It has certainly worked, as this is a beauty.
