Expert Reviews

89 Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2011

Sweet, supple and nicely concentrated, with slightly aggressive flavors of grapefruit, lemon cream and spices. Finishes long and tactile, with musky spices. This needs 6 to 12 months to harmonize its oak and alcohol. From estate vineyards planted on steep slopes between 3,100 and 5,000 feet above sea level.
