Expert Reviews

89 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2003

($52; blended with 25% merlot) Good medium ruby. Floral aromas of black cherry, violet, dark chocolate, minerals and tar. Sweet and soft on entry, then flavorful in the middle palate, with moderate texture and weight. Finishes with broad, dusty tannins, good length and an exotic suggestion of pineapple.
