93 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "[$125 list] The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Samantha’s is a ripe, plush wine bursting with dark blackberries, spices, licorice and new leather. The aromas and flavors build effortlessly to a round, explosive finish imbued with the essence of graphite, flowers, cassis, minerals and crushed rocks. This is an especially ripe, flashy wine loaded with depth and pure energy. In 2009 the blend is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. (Dec 2011)"
93 points Wine Spectator: "[$125 list] Plush, rich and extracted, featuring a dense mix of dark berry, black licorice, currant and tobacco-cigar box touches, firming before ending with fine-grained tannins. Best from 2013 through 2028. 600 cases made. (10/31/12)"
93 points Jeff Leve (The Wine Cellar Insider): "Sweet, ripe, plush, soft, sensuous, ripe and filled with layers of licorice covered, black and blue fruits, this is a very nice style of California Cabernet Sauvignon. (12/25/12)"
