Serious and well made, easy drinking despite the complexity, length and concentration. Ripe cherries and notes of coffee, cocoa and tobacco

I really enjoyed this wine. I think Americans would have to love it. It's got all the boldness of a Corvette or Kate Upton. Only downside for me is that the tannins could be a little more polished, especially two years after its commercial release. WA gave the 2011 94 points.

Purple ruby. Complex aromas that show both pure fruit and maturation in oak. Dark plummy fruit, aromas of wild herbs. Long, firm and silky textured. Needs more time.
