89 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2004

($45; 90% cabernet sauvignon, 7% merlot and 3% cabernet franc) Full red-ruby. Smoky dark berries, tobacco, espresso, iron, olive and leather on the nose, with a faint note of meaty reduction. Easygoing, pliant flavors of dark berries, leather and chocolate, nicely framed by ripe acidity. Less serious and more accessible than the Widowmaker. Finishes supple, with sweet tannins.
