Ratings

Wine Spectator

"Supple and brambly, with jammy raspberry, licorice and cracked pepper flavors that end on a zesty accent."

JS91
James Suckling

"A good choice for fans of high-powered, densely textured reds. Pushes the limits of ripeness and heavy body while balancing them with well-saturated, mouth-filling tannins that bring a sense of balance and fullness. Notes of cinnamon, vanilla bean and cloves from oak aging add nice complexity. Drink now or hold."
