wine score
92 points Wine Enthusiast
This is a well-made red, blended with 13% Merlot as well as small percentages of Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Thick and concentrated, it develops in the glass to show a nice refinement of woody oak, dried herb, cedar and black cherry, offering great value and wide appeal.
92 points Wine Spectator
A seductive style, with a creamy, polished feel to the mix of plum pâte de fruit, cassis and raspberry puree flavors, which have a subtle sheen of singed vanilla toast and light savory flecks through the finish. Drink now through 2032.
91 points James Suckling
Aromas of dark plums, dark cherries, cloves, pine needles and sweet spices. Medium-bodied with firm tannins. Structured and chewy with a fruity, cherry-like finish. Drink from 2023.
