TP Tasting Panel: 94 Points
With a hint of sweet earth reminiscent of the Old World on the nose and palate, this always-approachable red is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 9% Petite Sirah, 7% Malbec, and 5% Petit Verdot. It's concentrated and creamy, with round tannins and compelling notes of melting dark chocolate and rich plum. Spiced, roasted coffee beans go deep, but the overall character is plush, with generous, gobby fruit. This wine way overdelivers.
JS James Suckling: 93 Points
Attractive dark-fruited character with notes of ground cloves, leather, cardamom, cedar and graphite. Steady and toned with medium to full body and finely polished tannins. Structured and long.
WA Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
Deep and delicious, this full-bodied but soft-textured wine based on Cabernet Sauvignon overflows with plump black cherries, blackberries and baking spices backed by light tannins. Good concentration and a creamy mouthfeel add to its enjoyment.
