This is certainly a big, bold Pet wine, the kind lovers of the variety treasure. Dry and tannic, it’s explosive in extremely ripe cherry and black raspberry jam flavors, with all kinds of mushroomy, leathery, chocolaty, spicy complexities. As big as the tannins are, they’re of the modern, melted kind, making the wine instantly drinkable.——S.H.(9/1/2007)—— 87
