Bright deep red. Lovely lift to the intensely fruity aromas of raspberry, red cherry, cocoa powder, sweet spices, tar and tobacco. Sweet and silky on entry, then rich and tactile in the middle, with delicious red berry intensity complicated by saline soil tones. Bright, harmonious acidity nicely extends the wine's smooth finish. Great stuff, in a creamy, soft, ready-to-drink style. Score - 91. (Ian D'Agata, International Wine Cellar, Sept. 2012) Bright deep red.
