"Polished and inviting, with mocha, melted licorice, date bread, plum and raspberry flavors that glide through the full-bodied finish. Drink now through 2010. 15,000 cases made. 88 points - Wine Spectator, February 28, 2009
"Coconut and dill aromas rise from the nose, and they are surrounded by berry, cassis and floral scents. The palate is tight, honest and a little hard, with middle-of-the-road berry flavors tinged with herbs. There’s size and power to this wine, but also balance. Compared to previous years, it’s a little less generous but still a good way to go." 88 points - Wine Enthusiast, February 1, 2009 |
