Critical AcclaimWE92Wine Enthusiast - "Big, ripe fruits, full of sweet tannins and exotic spice. Balanced, just an extra hint of ripeness. Barrel Sample: 90-92 Points "WS91Wine Spectator - "This broad, mouthfilling red delivers linzer torte, blackberry preserves and mulled fig notes laced with black tea, bittersweet cocoa and anise accents. The long, fleshy finish has a mouthwatering peppery hint. Approachable, but will cellar well enough."
