Expert Reviews

92 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2011

(15.1% alcohol; includes 2% petit verdot):  Bright, deep red.  Aromatic, rather claret-like nose combines currant, tobacco, black licorice and minerals; more red fruit than black.  Much less forthcoming on the palate than the merlot, showing strong soil tones and minerality to the cherry and cedar flavors.  Finishes with broad, dusty, palate-saturating tannins.  A serious, ageworthy wine with attractive floral lift.
