Awards, Reviews and other Notes

92 pts James Suckling
A cabernet with tension and intensity. Medium to full body, black currant, coffee bean, and dark chocolate. Bright tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink or hold. Excellent value.

89 pts Stephen Tanzer's IWC (ST)
Good deep red. Aromas and flavors of currant, plum, licorice and fresh herbs are complemented by deeper-pitched notes of mocha and nutty oak. Broad, round and intense, with insidious ripe acidity giving shape and energy to the glyceral middle palate. A flavor of black raspberry emerges and carries nicely through the ripely tannic finish. Another excellent value. -- Stephen Tanzer
