86 Points | International Wine Cellar , April 2009

($20; 65% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot and 5% cabernet franc) Red-ruby. Expressive aromas of plum, currant, mocha, truffle, pepper and smoky oak, plus a leathery rusticity. Pliant and gentle, but with good vinosity and lift to its flavors of currant, chocolate, leather and pepper. A tad peppery on the back end but juicy and easy to drink-and nicely accessible for a young 2004.
