Reviews and other Notes
87 pts Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar (JR) Saturated ruby color. Pungent smoky aromas of cherry, blackberry, grilled meat and black olive. Delivers brighter red fruits in the mouth, with a zesty mineral quality adding vivacity. The smoky note repeats on the finish, which is a touch rigid.
