94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Ganymede Vineyard is one of the most subtle, layered wines in the range. Rose petal, mint, dark red cherries and plums all grace the palate in a beautifully balanced Cabernet Sauvignon that brings together the racy, voluptuous personality of the vintage with uncommon finesse. Violets, lavender and a hint of orange peel add nuance on the finish. Soft, silky and exquisite from the very first taste, the 2012 is poised to offer a wide drinking window of pure pleasure. What a gorgeous wine this is. Drink: 2017-2032. (Dec 2014)"
93 points Wine Spectator: "[$145 list] Delightfully pure and fruity, this offers tiers of rich cherry, wild berry and raspberry, with light gravelly earth and spicy, cedary oak nuances, ending with firm, earth-laced tannins along with traction and finesse. Drink now through 2028. 953 cases made. (10/31/15)"
92 points Robert Parker: "The sexy, up-front 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Ganymede Vineyard comes from the estate’s oldest vines and is made from a combination of mountainside and benchland fruit. Soft and seductive, with a deep ruby/purple color, lots of cassis and plum fruit, this pure, savory Cabernet is Pomerol-like in its succulent, rich, elegant finish. It should drink well for 10-15 years. Drink: 2014-2029. (Oct 2014)"
