Critics Ratings

'Matured in French oak for 18 months (50% new), the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon The Mint does exactly what it says on the tin, with a well-composed minty nose that is not powerful but is crisp and lively. The palate is well balanced with ripe, tensile tannins, crisp acidity and pure blackberry and raspberry fruit laced with (you guessed it...mint!) It is a very fine Cabernet to enjoy over the next 6 to 8-years'. Drink now-2020. - Neal Martin RobertParker.com 90/100 (2012)
