Wine Advocate: 95 Points
Although this wine will not be released until the end of the year readers should be making plans to latch onto a few bottles. A superb Cabernet Sauvignon it appears to be the finest yet produced by Simi. An extremely saturated dark purple color suggests a wine of formidable proportions. A tight but promising bouquet offers black-cherry vanillin and spicy/oaky scents. Ripe and full-bodied with superb concentration and layers of rich opulent cassis fruit gently infused with toasty new oak this long lavishly rich wine possesses moderate yet unobtrusive tannin in the finish. It is a blockbuster Cabernet that should drink well young and evolve for at least two decades. Published: Aug 22 1994
