"Here’s a lovely red wine, soft and appealing, and perfect for drinking now. It’s dry and silky in tannins, with intricately layered cherry, smoked meat, pepper and sandalwood flavors." - Steve Heimoff

Wine Spectator - 87 pts
"Appealing for its black cherry and tomato leaf aromas and red currant, anise and cedar flavors that finish with a slight grip of tannins. Drink now through 2015. 5,476 cases made." –TF
