Wine Spectator
Firm in texture and generous with its black cherry and tar flavors, picking up pretty raspberry and vanilla notes as the finish lingers impressively. A bit lighter than usual. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2013. —Harvey Steiman, 91 points

Wine Advocate
The 2005 Uriah is composed of 59% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot aged in approximately 50% new French oak. Purple-colored, it has an attractive bouquet of pain grille, pencil lead, spice box, and an amalgam of red and black fruits. This is followed by a supple-textured wine with good grip, layers of savory, spicy flavors, and a firm structure. It will evolve for 2-3 years with this Saint-Emilion look-alike being at its best from 2012 to 2020. 91 points

Spring Valley Tasting Notes
A very bright and powerful wine with plenty of crushed red berry flavors. More oak character, but already perfectly integrated. A very balanced wine in acid, fruit and oak. Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot add structure, complexity, and a huge mouth feel. Tannins are concentrated with a nice, long, elegant finish on chocolate notes.
