The structure is Cabernet-like, and the peppery and herbal character of Carmenere is there in abundance, along with accent notes of dried sage. The fruit is sharp and plummy, and the wine has been aged for 14 months in oak.——P.G.(3/1/2009)—— 87

It’s Seven Hills fruit and it carries some of the lushness and also the green flavors (tea and bark) of the vineyard. Light in the mouth, balanced and well-made with those flavors of bark and tea mixed in with tart cranberry/strawberry fruit. The oak is just right.——P.G.(12/1/2007)—— 88
