eRobertParker.com #215Oct 2014 Robert M. Parker, Jr. Rated 93 Drink: Their biggest production, the 2012 Proprietary Red Blend Tenacious (70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc), is probably my favorite wine, with the exception of the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Adore. This is a beauty. Dense, plum/ruby with notes of mulberry, forest floor, fudge, coffee, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, it is dense, opulent, full-bodied, beautifully made, supple and sexy to drink – very much in keeping with the style of 2012. Proprietors Tom and Vicki Celani use Mark Herold as their consultant, who has produced these wines, ranging from very tiny production of the 100% Merlot Siglo Reserve (100 cases), to nearly 1,000 cases of the Tenacious.
