See Critical Reviews for detailed tasting notes.

Focused and deftly wrought, with rich pomegranate, plum and blackberry flavors floating over superfine tannins. The elements move weightlessly through the long, expressive, and open-textured finish. Drink now through 2023. ~93 Wine Spectator.

Aromas of vanilla, baking spice, herb and dark fruit lead to tart, full cranberry and cherry flavors. Coffee notes linger on the finish and the tannins provide a gentle grip. ~90 Wine Enthusiast.
