Reviews and Ratings

Winner of a Gold Medal at the 2009 Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, this wine is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 12 months in French oak. : Maturing gracefully early on, this nicely structured wine offers up fresh berry fruit along with earthy and coffee notes. Medium-full bodied with a fleshy texture, pinpoint balance and resolving tannins. This wine is a joy to drink now and will continue to evolve over the next five years. Fine, clean finish.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
