Cassis, olives, and some tobacco flavors highlight this wine.

A nice full-bodied cabernet that is great for the price. Black cherry and blackberry are tasted with some hints of cinnamon.

Supple, elegant and polished, delivering ripe, fleshy plum, black cherry, mineral, spice and light cedary oak flavors that are well-proportioned, gaining length. Drink now through 2011. 96,000 cases made. 88 points" Wine Spectator

"Undeniably ripe and fleshy, with a pretty scent of cedary oak leading to a supple core of currant and red cherry flavors that are fine and persistent on the finish. Needs time to shed its fine-grained tannins. The flavors are long and persistent on the finish, though it shows simpler than it did from barrel. Drink now through 2012. 1,000 cases made. 91 points" Wine Spectator
