90/A-

Tasted by Mike Supple - 08 Mar 2009

Deep ruby core with color that stains the glass. Ripe black cherry and blackberry aromas are surrounded by smoky dried herbs and rich, roasted raspberry. Medium bodied with great acid on the palate. Very juicy fruit flavors of strawberry, black cherry and raspberry are surrounded by a complex smoked meat nuance. Lingering smoky fruit on the finish.

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.
