Pale cloudy ruby; medium plus intensity aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, cranberry, subtle red apple, yellow peach, mushroom, earth; dry, high acid, low tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, medium plus intensity flavors consistent with aromas; medium plus finish, screaming high acid, but well balanced with elegant flavors — 4 years ago
Mesmerizing nose of rich, slightly ripe red and black fruits that are unmistakably Napa, licorice, prune, smoked meat, black tea, dark chocolate, dried mushroom, cigar box, all tightly knit together. The palate was equally impressive with warm soft texture and complex layer. The full body is self-assured with power and grace. Velvety tannins still has baby teeth. And the lightly spiced and sweet finish lasts for minutes.
A complete wine at 15 years, but will reach perfection in another 5-10 years. — 5 years ago

Another excellent blend by Mi Sueño. I drank it young, very fruity and well balanced. Could sit in the cellar at least five more years. — 5 years ago

Well-made but just too intense. An overpowering Cabernet Sauvignon that will never lose its intensity with aging. Disappointing at its high price. — 10 months ago
