Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Far better is the 100% Cabernet Sauvignon cuvee, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Mountain Terraces Vineyard from Sonoma. The wine’s deep ruby/purple color is followed by a medium-bodied wine with lots of black currant fruit, no vegetal undertones, an earthy character, and a pure, moderately rich finish.

Wine Spectator
Pure, rich and layered, with complex plum, licorice, blackberry, cedar and graphite notes. This is both powerful and graceful, offering a long, dense, layered finish. Drink now through 2028.
While Sonoma County is acclaimed—and rightfully so—for its Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs, and Zinfandels, it also produces exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. Of the region’s 18 American Viticultural Areas, only a handful produce top-notch Cabernet Sauvignon. These appellations include Alexander Valley, Knights Valley, Sonoma Valley and Dry Creek Valley. Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignons made in these appellations can offer a complex array of aromas and flavors. Fruit notes such as blackberry, blackcurrant, cassis, black cherry and raspberry often are accompanied by hints of graphite, dusty earth, cigar box, toast and vanilla. The varietal has a rich history in Sonoma, and some of these Cabernet Sauvignons and Cabernet-based blends rival the best from Napa Valley.
