Shop/wine critic/winery review: 88 points – Stephen Tanzer. Dark
purple. Zesty, youthfully medicinal aromas of dark berries, licorice and
cracked pepper. Juicy and fresh, with smooth texture and sweet cherry and spice
flavors framed by dusty tannins. Finishes with a suggestion of slightly roasted
fruits and good clinging persistence. Delivers a lot of power and richness for
the money.
My review: This wine was very dark and very acidic. It has a fruity/berry flavor that was stronger than the other wines I tasted that day. I did not have this wine with any food.
