RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

...offers a beefy, faintly briny nose, with roasted beet and black cherry on the palate underlain by persistent meat broth, game, and salty, chalky minerality.

90Wine Spectator

Smoky black cherry aromas and flavors are attractive in this chewy red, which is lush and open for the vintage, with plenty of tannins.
