Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2006

Full red-ruby. Refined, complex nose hints at minerals, meat, cola, earth, underbrush and exotic spices, along with a suggestion of chocolatey oak. Very ripe and sweet, with a silky texture and dominant spice and cola flavors. Finishes with firm tannins and very good length. From a blend of Calera, Swan and Pommard clones.
