What the Wine Critics Thought: Wine Enthusiast 92 Points
The nose is smoky and rock-solid, with clean berry fruit and muscle. The palate is lively and secure, with balance, firm tannins, proper acidity and a tasty mix of cocoa, herbs and berry fruit. Finishes on the spot. Best Buy. —M.S.

What We Thought: Cedar, cassis and light bell pepper notes on the nose lead to a ripe, full-bodied palate of ripe blackberry fruit and smooth supple tannins.
