93 POINTS – WINE SPECTATOR
“A handsome red, refined yet stylish, with polished blackberry, olive and dusky spice
flavors that build tension toward fine-grained tannins.”
93 POINTS – WINE ENTHUSIAST
Editor’s Choice “Aromas of fresh black cherry, barrel spice, dark chocolate and blackberry
are followed by lush, ripe black cherry flavors. The tannins are polished to a fine sheen, and
it shows a compelling texture. The finish carries. This is an outright delicious offering of the
variety, with lots of pure hedonism but no shortage of class.
