89 Points | International Wine Cellar , January 2012

Medium ruby-red.  Aromas of cassis, licorice and dried herbs accented by a peppery element.  Moderately sweet and nicely creamy in the mouth, with a saline complexity to the chewy plum and currant flavors.  Very suave cabernet sauvignon for the price range, finishing with fine-grained tannins that reach the front teeth and lingering notes of currant, plum, flowers, spices and licorice.  (A second sample, which I rated 88 points, was a bit more medicinal and showed a stronger herbal element that gave the finish a slight dryness.)
