The wine is medium-bodied with a fruit salad of tart red cherries, cranberries, blackcurrant, and a touch of spearmint, with riper notes of boysenberry and blackberry. A hint of tobacco and cedar runs through the finish, all wrapped up with fine stony tannins and a mineral coolness to the acidity. Gary Walsh gave it 93 points, praising its restraint and elegance, while Campbell Mattinson awarded it 92 points, noting the balanced and satisfying character of this medium-bodied red.
