Critics Ratings
'Full ruby-red. Slightly bound-up aromas of blackberry, licorice and bourbony oak. Sweet, dense and concentrated with a creamy depth to its black fruit flavors. In a chunky, fruit-drive style, noteworthy more for its sheer sweetness of fruit than for its complexity.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com (March 2007)
