Robert Parker
" This is a solid example of the appellation, combining elements of crushed stone, licorice, violets and blueberries in a complex, flavorful wine. Medium- to full-bodied, it's ripe and supple yet controlled, controlled and composed, with a long, concentrated finish." (Wine Advocate - Joe Czerwinski)
