92 Points James Suckling
 
Well structured, deep in red and black fruit and rather big in style. One of the more affordable, classic valley-wide blends that will age for several years. Firm tannins and a full body support black cherries and dark chocolate notes. Drink or hold.
 
Winemaker Note
Expressive on the nose with notes of baking spices, cedar, fig, and black cherry. Notes of brooding red fruit flood the palate—the wine is soft yet structured on the palate, with plush tannins, moderate acidity, and a long finish that lingers with notes of black tea and bramble.
