Aromas of black cherry, cabernet-spice and coconut/oak shadings. Flavors of black and dark cherry fruit and mild vanilla. Persistent finish with cherry and herbal notes that intrigue.
Firm, tight and concentrated, the earthy currant and wild berry flavors are hidden behind a wall of tight tannins, giving it excellent structure. Holds a tight focus on the finish. 89 Points (Wine Spectator)
Delivers an enticing nose of pain grille, pencil lead, earth notes, spice box, violets, and assorted black fruits. On the palate it is dense, ripe, full-bodied, and structured. 96 Points (Robert Parker)
Flawless integration of acidity, alcohol, tannin and wood. The color is a saturated bluish/purple, the wine full-bodied with great fruit purity, real presence on the palate, terrific velvety opulence, and a long finish. 96 Points (Wine Advocate)
Stunner wine with lots of blueberry and blackberry fruit, spring flowers, a full-bodied mouthfeel and a super intense texture and richness. 96 Points (Robert Parker)

Wonderful concentrated flavors of black cherry, red currant and plum with a hint of sage and leather. The earthy minerality is balanced out by notes of baking spices with a rich, complex structure and a long lingering finish.
