Wine Spectator

Bright, round and juicy. A gorgeous mouthful of cherry, blackberry and floral flavors, lingering on the finish with a touch of dark espresso to add interest. The tannins are polished, and the wine has a keen sense of balance, grace and harmony. Drink now through 2015. 2,000 cases imported.

Score: 94. —James Suckling, June 15, 2007.

Wine Enthusiast

Winemaker Stuart Bourne calls 2003 a thinking man’s vintage, and he was clearly on form, crafting a delicious wine filled with blackberry tea aromas and flavors. It’s just slightly creamy on the palate, but still firm, turning a bit crisp at the end. Drink 2008–2013.

Score: 90. —Joe Czerwinski, November 01, 2007.
