"Fresh, delivering tasty plum and linzer torte fruit laced with graphite and spice notes, which give a racy edge to the finish. Drink now through 2012. 4,200 cases made. -JM"
- Wine Spectator (May 31st 2011) - 88 pts

 

"Mint and tannins feature in the initial flavor, then it opens out to show delicious blackberry juice fruit. The tannins are dry but integrate with acidity to give more serious aspect to this balanced wine. - RV"
