98 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:  The selection of Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignons includes some of the finest AVAs in all of Napa Valley. They are all 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and all stunning in quality, even the 2014s, which tend to be a front-end loaded but excellent to outstanding vintage with at least 20 years of aging potential in them. From one of the great sites Dave Del Dotto owns on Pritchard Hill, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Villa del Lago (the vineyard sits next to the Bryant Family Vineyard) is another 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 100% new oak. There are just over 600 cases of this wine, which is one of the more spectacular 2014s, with a soaring nose of spring flowers, blackberry, cassis, camphor, vanillin and graphite. Super-rich and opulent, with a voluptuous texture and great purity, this fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon should age and drink well for 20-25 years.
