Tasting Notes

A polished, modern style, with alluring layers of plum sauce, black forest cake, blueberry, graphite and mocha. The ripe, rounded finish builds nicely, showing latent depth and length. Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Drink now through 2008. 3,300 cases made.

Score: 90

James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 30 April 2007

Ruby-red. Aromas of raspberry, currant, licorice and spicy oak. Suave on entry, then broad and fine-grained in the middle, with a sneaky intensity to the flavors of raspberry and spice. A tad medicinal and dry on the back half, finishing with fine tannins and some chocolatey oak. (Another bottled sampled in New York was darker in color and blacker in its aromas and flavors, with a more pronounced mineral and violet character, but came off as a bit musclebound and hard-edged. This bottle, which I rated 89+?, was in need of time to harmonize.)

Score: 90
