91-93 Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2013

Saturated ruby.  High-pitched aromas of red berries, potpourri and smoky minerals, with a subtle note of white pepper building with air.  Juicy and precise, offering gently sweet raspberry and cherry flavors that show very good depth.  Tangy acidity adds cut and lift to a long, penetrating and gently tannic finish.  This wine will be delicious young but it is balanced to age.
