Rated vintages

    Generous flavors of red and black cherry, and a nice, firm coating of fine tannins make this full-bodied wine good and substantive. Those dark fruit flavors are fairly deep and concentrated, and linger on the finish.

  • 201288 pts

    An aroma like black pepper and turned earth leads to flavors that are more savory and smoky than fruity. This is a sturdy, fairly tannic and full-bodied wine that wants to pair with rich proteins.
