92 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2010

($50; 51% tinto fino and 29% cabernet sauvignon, augmented by merlot, syrah, petit verdot, cabernet franc and malbec) Deep ruby. Redcurrant, tobacco and dried rose aromas; really showing the cabernet right now. Spicy and precise, with sweet red berry and cherry flavors and a deeper note of blackberry that comes up with air. Very floral on the finish, which shows very good clarity and intensity. Note that the price for this wine has rolled back from $60 for earlier vintages. According to owner Peter Sisseck, the soil here is mostly limestone, and the vineyards (which were only planted in 1999 and 2000) are sited at between 750 and 830 meters. This wine has been improving steadily as the vines mature. (Eric Solomon Selections, Charlotte, NC)
