Dark color, with a spiced nose of cloves and cardamom. Tar too. Full-bodied, with round and velvety tannins and a rich, fruity aftertaste. Gorgeous young wine. 92-95 points, James Suckling for The Wine Spectator, Online March 25, 2010.
This solid, somewhat monolithic effort is better than usual, and it’s good to see this estate moving in the right direction. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, it exhibits a dark purple color, dusty tannins, a hint of herbs, and plenty of power and richness. Consume it over the next 10 years. (Tasted once.) 84-86 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate #188 (APR 2010). |
