Really ripe and delicious, with lovely, creamy mouthfeel carrying the lush raspberry ganache, boysenberry compote and blueberry sauce notes. The long finish lets the flavors play out, with nicely embedded, loam-tinged grip. Drink now through 2011. 90 points Issue: Web Only - 2010
(70/30 blend of malbec and cabernet sauvignon) Bright medium ruby. Musky aromas of cassis, coffee, mocha and tobacco. A supple claret-like midweight with a subtle sweetness to its flavors of currant, pepper and herbs. Finishes with fairly serious but fine-grained, building tannins. (San Francisco Wine Exchange, San Francisco, CA) 89 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 10
