  • What the experts say...

    "Lots of Cabernet-like aromas here. One of the more austere. But seems to be because of the fruit rather than because of the winemaking. Relatively lightweight." Jancis Robinson
    "The finest wine made here since the 1982, the 2009 possesses classic notes of melted licorice, roasted herbs, black currants, and cherries in its medium to full-bodied, pure, seriously endowed personality. The tannins are substantial, but silky and well-integrated, and the wine is long and authoritative." Robert Parker
