Expert Reviews

92(+?) Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2011

($115) Good medium ruby. Ripe blackberry, licorice and violet on the nose and palate, along with an intriguing mineral component. Suave, dry and classic; in fact, youthfully tight and restrained today for all its considerable richness. Cassis and mineral flavors are supported by firm tannic structure and solid acidity. This shapely, penetrating wine is built for a leisurely evolution in bottle and probably should not be approached for at least three or four years. My score may eventually prove to be overly conservative. (Vine Connections, Sausalito CA)
