Antonio Galloni
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is in such a great spot now. Sweet, plaint and expressive, the 2012 is a superb example of the vintage. Succulent red cherry, plum, kirsch and mint flesh out nicely. Medium in body, the 2012 is not as explosive as some of the surrounding vintages, but it is a total charmer. In that sense if captures the best the vintage has to offer. The first signs of pipe tobacco, spice and cedar are starting to develop, but the 2012 remains young, vibrant and full of life. 98 points
