89 / A-

Tasted by Mike Supple - 30 Jan 2009

Dark purple core with a ruby rim and fuchsia highlights. Brown sugar aromas are underscored by a wet stone minerality, all lifted by violets and sweet black cherry. Fairly lush on the palate entry with medium ripe tannins. Brambly blackberry and black cherry fruits top stone and spicy nutmeg. Medium length finish.

A blend of 60% Malbec, 20% Bonarda and 20% Syrah.
