87 PTS FROM ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE! "Thick, concentrated style, with plum, licorice, fruitcake and raisin flavors. Slightly chewy, raisiny note takes over on the finish."
WINE SPECTATOR NOTES: Thick, concentrated style, with plum, licorice, fruitcake and raisin flavors. Slightly chewy, raisiny note takes over on the finish, leaving a clumsy impression. This was the better of two bottles. Not up to par for this winery. Drink now. 1,100 cases made. –JM
