Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

The 2013 Proprietary Red, a slightly different blend from the 2012 of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Cabernet Franc, is a much smaller production of 350 cases. This wine, which ratchets up the level of intensity, has an opaque purple color and a beautiful nose of blackberry, blueberry and cassis as well as hints of espresso, white flowers, and subtle background toast. The wine hits the palate with a cascade of gorgeous fruit, sweet tannin, great delineation and acidity, and a long, velvety, voluptuously textured mouthfeel. This big, inky, thick, juicy wine should age beautifully for 25-30 years. Drink Date 2017-2045. Rating 98/100. – Robert M. Parker, Jr. -     

Vinous:

The 2013 Ovid has developed into an elegant, refined wine. Aromatic, silky and light on its feet, the 2013 stands out for its translucent purity and nuance. This is such a pretty wine. In its early years, the 2013 was rather wild and potent, almost too much so—an unruly child that has now matured into a respectable adult. With age, the 2013 has developed into a silky, vibrant Cabernet Sauvignon endowed with mid-weight structure and tons of freshness. It remains a pretty young wine. Drink Date 2023-2033. Rating 98/100. – Antonio Galloni - 

James Suckling:

Mahogany, black olive and star anise in the aromas segue to charcoal, singed herbs, graphite and dark plums with hints of balsamic. Still very firm in texture while maturing and gaining complexity in flavors. Rating 94/100. – JamesSuckling.com -
