Sloan Asterisk 2012 (750ML)

94 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate: "Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2012 Asterisk leaps from the glass with warm red and black plums with touches of redcurrant jelly, Black Forest cake and incense with nuances of camphor, forest floor, dried sage and tapenade. Full-bodied and built like a brick house, the muscular red and black fruit flavors have a rock-solid, grainy texture and seamless freshness supporting the intense flavors through the long, savory finish."

93 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: “The 2012 Asterisk is plump, juicy and super-expressive, with racy red cherry, plum, spice, mint and new leather. A beautiful example of the vintage, the 2012 Asterisk will drink well for a number of years. Today, it is absolutely delicious. With time in the glass, the 2012 turns dark and more mysterious. This sensual, expressive Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend is a terrific example of 2012 at its best.�
