90 Points | Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine

87 Points | International Wine Cellar , April 2009

($30; 48% cabernet sauvignon, 42% merlot, 8% cab franc and 2% petit verdot) Full ruby. Fresh aromas of currant, violet and bitter chocolate. Smooth and deep, with good spine and thickness to the dark berry and licorice flavors. Finishes firmly tannic but not hard. Has the vinosity to support bottle aging.
