Wine Enthusiast
The Wine Enthusiast ratings and reviews are in and Miramont Estate's Celestial 2002 Vintners Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon have received very good ratings.

The April 2006 issue of Wine Enthusiast has given our 2002 Vintners Reserve Celestial Cabernet Sauvignon an 87. The Wine Enthusiast states the wine is "Deeper and slightly more tannic than the winery's regular Cab, this bottling is very dry. With soft acids, it shows well-developed flavors of blackberries and mocha and a deep, ripe black plum taste on the finish. It should hold and improve for several years. --S.H."

The 2002 Celestial Cabernet Sauvignon received an 86 and the Wine Enthusiast states that this wine is "Dry and rich in blackberry, cocoa, coffee, herb, and oak flavors, this Cab has a finish of ripe raisins and cassis. It's a soft, full-bodied wine that will benefit from a year or so in bottle. --S.H."

We are very honored to be compared with such outstanding wineries as J. Lohr, Beringer, and Robert Mondavi.
