Robert Parker 92 points (Dec 2005)
An improvement over the debut 2002, this blend of 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc is a limited production (400 cases) wine expensively packaged in a heavy bottle with a designer label. It exhibits a deep ruby/purple color along with a big, sweet nose of roasted espresso, mocha, chocolate, black cherries, and currants. Well-textured, with superb fruit purity and intensity, full body, and a long finish, it should be consumed over the next 7-8 years.
Wine Spectator 93 points (Jul 13 2005)
Dark in color, with wonderful perfumed cassis, currant
and black cherry fruit that’s openly aromatic. The flavors
are rich and polished on the palate, with a plush,
dense texture and a long, intricate finish that picks up
nuances of cedary oak and fresh earth. Merlot and
Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2012.—J.L. |
