"Intense, with a tannic structure, yet the plush currant, anise, earth and cedar flavors push to the forefront and show an excellent range of depth and concentration. The finish turns tight, with a burst of plum, berry, cedar and tobacco. Best from 2006 through 2013. 8,100 cases made. 93 points" Wine Spectator

"Intense and focused, if a bit raw and rustic, with racy, brambly wild berry and currant flavors that are framed by tight, rich, chewy tannins. Finishes with drying, mouthcoating tannins. Decant. Best from 2008 through 2012. 8,500 cases made. 86 points" Wine Spectator

"Marked by spicy, earthy and leathery flavors and scents, this is dry and austere on the palate, with hints of dried currant, berry, mineral and sage peeking through on the finish. Drink now through 2013. 20,000 cases made. 86 points" Wine Spectator
