Delivers gorgeous aromas of blackberry, raspberry and blueberry. Full-bodied, with superfine tannins and a beautiful core of pure, sweet fruit. So refined and pretty. A cold pre-fermentation maceration yields lots of bright fruit and fine tannins. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 2009

An amazing success in this vintage, the dark ruby/purple-hued 2008 reveals its noble terroir in its complex aromatics of spring flowers and burning embers/charcoal. A medium to full-bodied mouthfeel displaying no hard edges and a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood result in an approachable, already evolved wine that can be drunk now or cellared for 15+ years.
