"Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with redcurrant jelly, blackberry preserves and fresh blackcurrants scents, plus hints of sautéed herbs, damp soil, tapenade and truffles. The medium to full-bodied palate is finely texture with lovely freshness to lift the generous fruit, delivering a savory finish." -Robert Parker

"This sports a core of mulled loganberry and mulberry fruit along with licorice snap and roasted alder. Open-knit and juicy through the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot."

"This is a showcase of savory earthiness and supple tannin. Inky dark, it offers a wealth of balanced red fruit, notes of tobacco, gun smoke and dried herb, with an understated elegance that shines."
