Critics Ratings
"Bright ruby-red. Sappy aromas of black cherry, oak spice and mint. Intensely flavored and youthfully tough in the mouth; a rather unrefined style of wine but with plenty of concentration and backbone. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and strong evidence of oak." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (Mar 2000)
"Purity and grace are the hallmarks in this maturing raspberry- and cassis-flavored red, though there's plenty of structure and muscle to back it up. Firms up on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc." - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator (Apr 2000)
