Robert Parker - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"The top wine of the estate has long been the Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2000 Pareto is impressive for the vintage, a full ruby in color with ample and expansive aromas of black currants, saddle leather, and game, ripe and rich on the palate with exemplary continuity, expressiveness, and size on the finish. Drink: 2005-2018."
"Big and chewy, with lots of currant, toasty oak and spice. Full-bodied, with large tannins and a long finish. A broad red. Cabernet Sauvignon. Best after 2006. 2,500 cases made." -90 Points, Wine Spectator
