90 points, a "Best Buy" designation and #25 on the "Top 100 Best Buys of 2008" from Wine Enthusiast Magazine: "Great color, extraction and overall balance for an under-$15 wine. There's slam-bang dark fruit, good mouthfeel, tightness and serious but controlled tannins. Oak plays its role on the back palate and finish, and in the end the wine is as savory and balanced as it is bold and fruity." (12/1/2008) And, according to Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Bright ruby-red. A whiff of pepper-and-gunpowder reduction dissipates to reveal aromas of plum, cherry, dark chocolate, fresh herbs and spicy oak. Smooth and sweet, with good spicy lift to the plum, currant and chocolate flavors; a stronger cherry element emerged with air. A fresh, round, pliant wine that finishes with soft tannins and a restrained sweetness." (Jan/Feb '09)
