James Logan rated this wine as 83/100 with the following review:

Nice black cherry blackberry aroma, smooth dryness.

Matt Steeves rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Plum, spice, and green pepper notes on the nose and palate. Serious tannins with juicy acidity make this bold wine a great choice with beef and broccoli or grilled beef tenderloin dishes. Tasted February 2017. 88 points.

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Juicy bright red cherry, new leather, spices and violets. A nice cherry palate with great structure; very nice tannins here. This will be even better in a two or three years. A great wine for rare roast beef, or sipping in front of a roaring fire.

Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Aromas of red berries, oak and a bit of smoke. Medium bodied, tart cherry with grippy tannin and oak is present on the palate. Acid is pronounced. Have this with beef or roast pork.

Heather Wall rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Medium -bodied, medium ruby with thin legs. Fresh red berries,toast, oak, floral with sweet spices. Repeated on the palate with grippy tannins. Medium+ acidity. A lovely medium+ length cherry tart finish. Pair with steak, blackened salmon.
Tasted: November 2014
