RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

A taut yet fruity style, this red is appealing for the vibrant cherry, earth and spice flavors, turning more compact by the finish.

89-91The Wine Advocate

...scents of undergrowth-tinged red berry fruit, hints of brown spices...palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, good weight and more sappiness...
