RATINGS

97Wine Spectator

Exhibits blackberry, mineral, currant and dark chocolate. Full and velvety...Long and caressing, with incredibly sweet fruit and tannins on the finish. Goes on for minutes. A thoroughly gorgeous wine...6,615 cases made.

96Robert M. Parker Jr.

A beautiful wine,... Dense ruby/purple with notes of graphite, background oak, youthful crème de cassis and blackberry fruit as well as a floral underpinning, it is medium to full-bodied, textured, rich and impressive.

95-96James Suckling

The length on this wine is phenomenal with gorgeous blueberries and blackberries that last for minutes on the palate. It might be the greatest MSE ever.

93Stephen Tanzer

...Fat, sweet and large-scaled, offering extraordinary volume and an almost syrupy thickness leavened by surprisingly sound acidity. This saturates the entire mouth yet manages to avoid coming off as heavy. Finishes very long and sweet..
