Intense and concentrated, with ripe, vivid blackberry and blueberry flavors. On the palate it tightens up and ends with drying tannins. Needs time. Best from 2009 through 2012. 250 cases made. -JL

An aromatic young wine, yielding fresh primary fruit red cherries, pomegranates and spicy cola scents, with hints of violets and milk chocolate. Drinking very dry and forward now, it’s a fat, opulent wine with delicious cherry, Bay leaf, spice and toast flavors. Should hold and improve for up to six years. ——S.H.(4/1/2007)—— 93
