RATINGS

94The Wine Advocate

...very well defined with gorgeous black cherry and blueberry fruit...palate is medium-bodied, smooth and velvety in texture with finely tuned acidity, nicely poised and gently fanning out with a fresh blackberry and bilberry finish, white pepper and clove lingering on the aftertaste.

94James Suckling

A very impressive wine that shows cassis, preserved plums, tar and hints of eucalyptus and cloves. The palate's full and packed in with all-encompassing tannins and a long, complex finish.

91+ Stephen Tanzer

Resiny oaky high tones to the aromas of cassis, graphite and bitter chocolate. Plush, pliant dark berry flavors show a menthol reserve along with lovely ripeness and depth of texture. Serious, broad, dusty but suave tannins are nicely buffered by fruit on the long, supple back end... Finishes with a late chocolate note and hints of licorice and minerals.

91Wine Enthusiast

At present, the wood dominates the nose and mouth of this lush, creamy wine. It's brimming with notes of cedar, sweet spice and bittersweet cocoa powder that ride atop the baked cherry and raspberry fruit. The mouthfeel is smooth and plush, with velvety tannins and lingering dry, spicy notes that grace the finish.

90Wine Spectator

A dark, muscular style, with a chewy edge to the mix of black currant and fig fruit flavors thanks to lots of tobacco, espresso and loam notes. Stays dark and grippy through the finish.
