"Deep red. Spicy blueberry and kirsch aromas are brightened by white pepper and minerals. Juicy dark fruit flavors stop short of jammy, with firm tannins adding grip. Sweet vanillin oak spice builds on the long, sappy finish, which features a lingering raspberry note. This could pass for a big New World pinot." 90 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Sep/Oct 07 |
