94 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2012

(35% zinfandel, 26% mourvedre, 19% tempranillo, 11% syrah and 9% petite sirah; 16.1% alcohol):  Opaque purple.  An exotically perfumed bouquet displays scents of  spice-accented black raspberry, cherry, violet and incense, with a bright mineral quality gaining power with air.  Densely packed but impressively vibrant, offering sweet red and dark berry flavors that show iqueur-like depth and intensity.  Floral pastille and raspberry notes carry through a long, sappy, seamless finish.
