Tasting NotesJames Suckling: 91 Points
It's a nicely pumped-up cabernet that's moderately tannic and very generous in fruit and oak spice flavors. Full-bodied, broad and delicious, leading with blueberries, cocoa and blackberries, then hints of vanilla bean in the finish from a portion of American oak barrels used for aging. 12% malbec and 2% petite sirah go into this big wine.
