Excerpt from Robert M. Parker, Jr.
The Wine Advocate
Issue # 192, December 2010
94 Points
"The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 76% estate fruit and the rest from Napa's Pope Valley. Its black/purple color is followed by abundant aromas of cassis, licorice, underbrush and graphite. Full-bodied and impressively endowed with stunning concentration, this may be the biggest, richest regular Cabernet Sauvignon Keenan has yet made. It should age effortlessly for 15-20 years."

- Amarone Della Valpolicella 06
Wine Advocate - "The 2006 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico La Marega is rather closed in on itself. It shows gorgeous palate presence and weight, but the bouquet is muted and the elements donÆt quite come together in the glass. Still, over time, enough of the wineÆs fabric comes to life to make me think all it needs is time. Dried flowers, minerals, new leather and wild cherries comes through on the finish."
