Acclaim
The 2010 Reserva Terroir Cabernet Sauvignon has an impressive, well defined bouquet of blackberry, briary fruit, cedar and a little sous-bois - not actually that far removed from a decent Cru Bourgeois. The palate is well balanced with crisp, supple tannins and plenty of Old World inspired, slightly herbaceous fruit that is focused and fine on the finish. There is a sense of classicism to this superb Cabernet.
— Wine Advocate, Dec 2012
“This rich red leads with spicy cherry reduction, licorice and grilled herb notes that follow through on the tobacco-tinged finish.”
— Kim Marcus, Jul 2013
