Score 89/100 · Drink 2016-2023, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2016
(14.5% alcohol): Red-ruby. Blueberry and spicy herbs on the nose, with hints of mocha and black pepper. Sweet, pliant and nicely concentrated in a rather elegant style, showing more red berries and spices than blacker fruits. Hints of chocolate and dried herbs add complexity. Not at all an outsized wine. Finishes with good floral lift, dusty tannins and a slightly medicinal herbal element.

Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2009
Deep, bright red. Aromas of blueberry, fresh herbs and sassafras lifted by a floral topnote. Juicy, spicy and brisk, with noteworthy complexity to its restrained berry and spice flavors. Juicy and light on its feet, finishing with firm tannins and very good length and lift.
