Rated vintages

    Dried cherry and raspberry aromas lead to medium-bodied, sweet fruit flavors that seem bit clipped. It doesn't all come together.

  • 201487 pts

    This wine is mostly Merlot with just a splash (5%) of Malbec. The aromas of red fruit, tire rubber and herbs are light and elusive. The tart fruit flavors provide considerably more generosity, with grainy tannins backing them up.
