Rated vintages

    Spicy and savory rather than simply fruity, this wine offers lively oak, smoke and black-pepper aromas and meaty, stewed-fruit flavors. It is full bodied, moderately tannic and very textural.

  • 201086 pts

    With full body, very ripe aromas and flavors and a gripping, tannic texture, this could almost be a Port. It tastes like dark chocolate, dried figs and blackberry and has plenty of power on the tongue and on the finish. Pairing with blue cheese would be a good idea.

    Incredible aromas of barbecued meat leap out of this wine, followed by a taste of sweet raspberry jam. It has penetratingly thick tannins that are dusty too. There's a pronounced amount of smoky oak going on, which might be pleasant with similar food.
