Critic Reviews

94 Points — Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate
“Pronounced notes of blackberry and black cherry preserves with some blueberries, figs, spice box, coffee and cedar. … Firm fine-grained tannins with a long espresso and dark chocolate laced finish.”

Wine Advocate #192, December 2010

93+ Points — Phillip White
“Beautiful sweet sweaty syrups are the heart of this evaporated wonder. … Briar and leather and fig are all squeezed in, prune, juniper, ripe blueberries and beets.”
