While a good value for $12, I disagree with the WE 93 rating. That's a bit high.
Black fruits, and tobacco with mouth watering acidity and firm tannins. Needs more time or a good decant.

Salty prunes and eucalyptus wrapped with ribbons of dusty black fruit on the nose. A touch of tart under ripe fruit on the palate with bright acid structure. This is 2011. Needs some time to breather and it should be beautiful.

2010 on 23.02.16. Saturated & dense color but surprisingly light-to-medium body wish a polished structure. Dark sour cherries, dry apricots, feijoa and prunes. Mineral and earthy
