...One of the great wines of the vintage... Its opaque purple color is followed by scents of ink, acacia flowers, blueberries, black raspberries and blackberries. While full-bodied, extremely concentrated and massive, the wine is totally harmonious with beautifully integrated acidity, tannin and alcohol... Robert Parker

Special wine for our 29th anniversary that paired beautiful with my roasted duck breast with cherries & thyme. Lightly peppery, fruit forward, very smooth. (I’m not a wine expert, but clearly this one was a stand out!)

At 15% alcohol, awesome berry slate gives good balance, gorgeous ruby color, full, with long tantalizing finish. Lots of sediment. Big wine legs

A baby; tightly wound and needs some time to open up. Savory herbs, grilled meats, black currants. Built on a muscular frame, this has structure to go the distance. Some smoke and leather round out the lasting finish.
