Critics Ratings
'Full red-ruby. Black plum and bourbony oak on the nose. Plush and sweet if somewhat youthfully musclebound, with dark fruit and licorice flavors complemented by a gamey nuance. A structured still tight shiraz in need of a couple of years of aging.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com (March 2007)
