WINE PROFILE
TASTING NOTES
The fresh aroma of wild blueberry with a hint of grenadine and black cherry invites us into this powerful wine. A hint of toasty oak adds complexity. Velvety tannins with balanced acidity provide structure for the long finish.
RATINGS
Wine Advocate - December 2011 92 points
Wine Spectator - December 31. 2011 91 points
Wins points for its subtlety and finesse, with detailed mineral, raspberry and black cherry fruit that's deftly balanced and slow to unfold, but does so gracefully, firming on the finish. Drink now through 2018. 2,117 cases made. ~ J.L.
