Reviews: "Aromas of blackberry and cherry follow through to a full-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a caressing finish. Layered, beautiful and just starting to come around. Much better than when previously tasted. Best after 2008. 22,000 cases made. 90 Points, James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2007.
