此款葡萄酒散發(fā)著藥草和野草莓的氣味，伴有牛至和鼠尾草的青澀味。入口有清瘦和粗糙之感，酸味十足，帶有李子和櫻桃派的風味。余味緊實、熱辣。評分：83。

Earthy smelling, with black-fruit aromas that sit heavy in the glass. The palate pushes black cherry flavors and outsized acidity, and it only gets sharper on the back palate and finish. Flavorful and true to the variety, but piercing. ——M.S.(12/31/2010)—— 84

Ultragreen and slightly vegetal, which basic, Central Valley Carmenere is prone to be. The nose has blackberry fruit, carob and bell pepper, while flavors of murky, sweet berry and green bean set up a rooty finish. ——M.S.(7/1/2010)—— 84

Welcoming jammy fruit aromas are clean and robust, while the palate on this value-priced bottling is creamy, balanced and generous. The flavors are naturally a bit herbal, but there’s so much beefy blackberry and dark plum fruit that the package is downright commendable. For everyday Carmenere, this is where to look. ——M.S.(11/15/2008)—— 87
