94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 7 is superb. Dark red and black fruit, spices, menthol and French oak race across the palate as this deep, inky Cabernet shows off its broad, ample personality. The style is resonant and racy to the core, in other words; pure 2012. Best of all, the Clone 7 is a great value. Drink: 2017-2032. (Dec 2014)"
93+ points Robert Parker: "The opaque purple-colored 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 7 comes from several mountainside, rocky vineyards. It offers lots of earth, spice, blackberry and blueberry notes in a well-endowed, complete, muscular, full style. This serious, ageworthy Cabernet Sauvignon cuts a swath between the structural aspects of Bordeaux and the beautiful ripeness and purity of Napa fruit. This impressive Cabernet requires several years of bottle age, but should keep for two decades. Drink: 2014-2034. (Oct 2014)"
93 points/'Cellar Selection,' Wine Enthusiast: "Estate grown from the northernmost section of the winery, which is warmer and steeper, this is a big, puckering, dry wine with specks of compelling minerality and a stony, gravel-like underbelly. There's almost a chalky quality to it, accented by crisp black plum and cherry. This brawler needs time; cellar through 2022. Alcohol 14.5%. (Dec 2015)"
