93 Points Wine Enthusiast
Firm structure and lifted aromas of dark plum, boysenberry, dried cherry, and peppercorn are noted throughout the nose on this wine. The palate is saturated with blackberry preserve, red currant, ginger, and grippy tannins on the finish.
90 Points James Suckling
Fruit-driven aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, licorice and chocolate. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins and balanced acidity. Robust yet generous. Drink or hold.
