Reviews

Romazini: 5/5 Stars

The Winespectator: 91/100 Points

Shows focused aromas of boysenberry, blackberry and light vanilla. Full-bodied, with soft, round tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Beautiful and juicy. Drink now. 45,830 cases made.

The Decanter Magazine: 3/5 Stars

Vintage 2005: Very full and plummy fruit, black cherry and spice. Lots of potential complexity. Good oak and fleshy complexity.

The Winemaker

Stephen Tanzer: 87/100 Points

Medium ruby. Perfumed aromas of dark cherry, coffee and licorice, with a saline nuance. The black cherry element carries through on the palate of this pleasant midweight, which finishes moderately long and complex, with a lingering saline note.
