94 Points - Wine Spectator
“A really dark, grippy style, with boysenberry and macerated currant fruit laced with pastis, violet and iron notes. The long, structured finish is pushed by a bright iron note and superfresh acidity. Hard to resist now, but will only blossom more with time.” (JM) Review Date: 02/2009

“Inky ruby. Powerful raspberry and boysenberry aromas are complicated by fresh violet and dusty minerals, plus a late-arriving cola quality. Pliant red and dark berry preserve flavors offer impressive depth and concentration, with gentle tannins adding structure and shape. This really clings to the palate on the finish, with the dark berry flavors echoing.” (JR) Review Date: 01/2008
