93 points WS: "An attractive red, with style and personality, offering expressive cherry and huckleberry flavors accented with black tea, sweet anise and forest floor tones that finish with refined tannins. Drink now through 2033. 995 cases made."
Aromatically complex, this wine balances dark fruit aspects of black cherries and blackberries with subtle notes of mushrooms and tobacco. The palate is bold and long-lasting, with a medium body and dusty tannin structure. There is a hint of cherry fruit beneath the tannins that evolves into a lingering, elegant finish.
