winemaker's notes:

Deep red with purple hue. The nose of this wine is filled with luscious blackberry, cocoa, cassis and hints of vanilla and a bit of clove and coffee. The texture of this wine never disappoints. Velvet, rich and mouth filling with the burst of red fruit in the front palate and a long sensual finish.

alcohol by volume: 14.2%

critical acclaim:

"Smooth, dry and rich, this Merlot-based Bordeaux blend shows complex flavors of black currants, black cherries, mocha and cedar. The tannins are thick, but very finely ground, with a sweet nutty taste. Shows real class and finesse."

92 Points

Wine Enthusiast

"Solid garnet hue. Cherry cola and coffee bean aromas with new oak and clove accents. Spicy black cherry fruit with a cloak of fine tannins, minerals and lightly toasted oak. Dry, flinty finish with plenty of promising fruit waiting to turn the corner."

rating (10/21/2012):

This wine was very tight 1st pour. A bit acidic. By the third pour, under vacuum, on the third day, it mellowed out. I think this wine was past its prime and is on its way out. The nose was no where what it probably once was,nor was the flavor, especially at this price.
