James Suckling, 92 Points

"Aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, slate, forest wood and baking spices. Medium-bodied with sleek tannins and crisp acidity. Creamy, with a ripe entry, followed by a silky and juicy texture. Balanced and precise. Long finish." 

Wine Spectator, 90 Points 

"A pretty nose of wild sage and stone notes accent the palate's black raspberry and black cherry fruit flavors in this bright, light- to medium-bodied red. Framed by light tannings, this lingers on the finish with hints of spice and herb." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The wine has a deep color. The nose shows intense aromas of red and predominantly black fruits accompanied by spicy, fresh and balsamic notes. The palate is balanced and complex, full-bodied and with warm tannins. On the palate, it is fresh, aromatic and concentrated with balsamic notes. The finish is long and driven by vibrant acidity."
