RATINGS

93+ The Wine Advocate

...nose of warm cassis, preserved plums and blackberry compote with hints of pencil shavings, cinnamon toast, plus a touch of Mediterranean herbs. Medium-bodied...medium to firm level of chewy tannins and balanced acid framing the conservative fruit cone through a finish with good persistence.

91Wine Enthusiast

...yielding a round opulent mouthfeel backed by svelte structure. Cedar, mocha and a mix of cassis and black cherry fruit end on some dry, dusty tannins.

90Wine Spectator

Plush and bold, with velvety plum, cherry and blackberry flavors that show layers of spice, cedar, cocoa and sage. Stylish and focused, especially on the finish.
