Critical Acclaim
98 points Vinous
The 2009 Vecina is dark, sumptuous and also remarkably forthcoming for a young wine from this Oakville site. Smoke, leather, tobacco, licorice and grilled herbs infuse a dark, virile Cabernet Sauvignon that leans more towards sensuality than pure power. In any other tasting the 2009 would steal the show, but the level of this flight is high. Very high. (AG, 03/2017)

Dark, rich, dry and savory, this muscular effort boasts extracted tannin-laced notes of currant, earth, cedar, mocha and tobacco. Mouthcoating through the finish, where thick tannins gain traction. (JL, 10/2012)
93+ points, Steven Tanzer for Vinous
Saturated ruby. Primary aromas of cassis, blackberry and licorice. Dense and sweet but still youthfully medicinal, with highly concentrated black fruit and saline mineral flavors coming across as very backward today and displaying limited personality. This seriously tannic wine finishes classically dry but thoroughly ripe and will also need extended aging to deliver the generosity it showed shortly after it was bottled. (3/2018)
