93-96 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

"The estate's 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Reserve is endowed with serious power and depth. Layers of blue and black fruit, smoke, tobacco and licorice are woven together beautifully. Vivid yet rich and resonant, the 2010 stands out for its exceptional purity and overall harmony. Here, too, the oak needs time to integrate, but that shouldn't be an issue, as readers should not plan on opening bottles anytime soon. A creamy, layered finish laced with expressive blue and black fruits rounds things out in style. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2032." (12/12)

92 Robert Parker - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Reserve is a structured, tannic Cabernet built to last. Discrete notes of damp earth, black cherries and black currants are followed by a juicy attack and a medium-bodied, elegant, Bordeaux-like textural and flavor profile. Not a blockbuster, it is an elegant, finesse-styled effort to enjoy over the next decade. Since I last tasted the wines of Conn Valley Vineyards, the excellent winery tucked away in the backwaters of Conn Valley, there has been a complete label makeover."
