Deeply colored, the wine is loaded with lush, dark supple-textured, creamy, black and red fruits. There is a nice depth of flavor, and ample layers of dark red fruits, chocolate and licorice, with a spicy influence that comes in on the backend of the finish. Not much of this wine is produced. But, if you see it grab it. It sells for a song for a wine at this level of quality. Produced from 100% Merlot. Drink from 2025-2038.. 92-94 Pts.

Medium bodied, the smoky black raspberries and licorice come through in the nose and on the silky, soft palate. You should be able to enjoy this young. 89-91 Pts

Deep in color, the wine is soft, supple and shows hints of minerality along with its juicy, fresh, dark cherry profile. This will take a few years before it really begins shining. 90-92 Pts
