Reviews: “Wow! Right away your mouth is pounded with gorgeous blackberry fruit-it’s like gulping down a fresh-picked bucket of berries. There is a lovely softness here, but plenty of acidity and depth as well. Though the tech sheet lists two thirds new oak barrels, the fruit is so fresh and full and luscious hay they fade into the background, leaving just a ghostly trail of cracker and butter in the resonant finish. 92 points, (P.G., Wine Enthusiast, 2010-09-30)

“Deep red. Assertive, exotically perfumed bouquet of blackberry, cherry-cola, wild herbs and incense, with a note of rose oil in the background. Sweet, ripe and expansive, with a supple texture but a nervy spine of acidity providing focus to the sweet red and dark berry preserve flavours. Very sexy already but structured to age. Finishes with strong spice and floral character.” 92 points, (Stephen Tanzer’s, International Wine Cellar)
