2012 Martha’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Limit: 6 Bottles
96 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Deep ruby with only the earliest signs of evolution, the 2012 opens with classic notes of cassis, blackberry, and eucalyptus, layered with graphite, cedar, and a touch of dried herb. The palate is generous yet composed, with supple tannins and a polished texture. There is a natural harmony here that speaks to the vintage, with a long, graceful finish marked by dark fruit and savory lift. Drinking beautifully now, with years still ahead.
2013 Martha’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Limit: 6 Bottles
96 Points, Wine Enthusiast
A more structured expression, the 2013 shows darker fruit tones of black cherry and plum alongside tobacco, leather, and crushed rock. There is depth and tension here, with firm, well-defined tannins that continue to frame the wine. With air, the bouquet becomes increasingly complex, revealing mint, spice, and a subtle floral note. This is a wine of precision and longevity, just beginning to enter its stride.
2014 Martha’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Limit: 6 Bottles
100 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Bright and energetic, the 2014 leans into red and blue fruit, with notes of wild berry, eucalyptus, and citrus peel. The palate is vibrant and lifted, with fine tannins and a persistent line of acidity that carries the wine forward. There is a freshness here that keeps everything in focus, balanced by underlying depth and structure. Approachable today with decanting, though it will continue to evolve beautifully over time.
