Score 88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Good deep red-ruby. Very reticent nose hints at black and red cherry, spice and mint. More texture and fat than the Sonoma Coast bottling, with similarly dry-edged flavors. But though this began quite subdued, it showed more sweetness and expressiveness with aeration.
