2012 Tor Kenward Tierra Roja Cabernet Sauvignon
96pts (WS) Combines power and finesse, offering a firm, dense, chewy core
of mocha-scented blackberry, cassis, crushed rock, loamy earth,
cedar, cigar box and exotic spice, ending with firm, smoky tannins
and a midpalate sweetness that adds a measure of intrigue and
nuance. Drink now through 2030. From California.—James Laube Wine Spectator Insider April 29, 2015
(94-96) "The sensational 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Tierra Roja Vineyard is a full throttle, rich, concentrated yet open and accessible Cabernet Sauvignon that offers up notes of loamy soil, licorice, cedarwood, unsmoked cigar tobacco, blackberries and cassis. Full-bodied, opulent and made in the exuberant, boisterous style of 2012, it should drink well for 20 years." -Robert Parker
