89 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 06: "Youthful violet-red. Smoked meat, graphite, tobacco and ripe plum on the nose. Lush, round and sweet, with ripe cassis and cherry preserve flavors offering impressive breadth. The sweet fruit is nicely complemented by tangy, smoky notes of black tea and iron. This supple, deeply fruity and slightly earthy wine struck me as a hybrid of Napa and Graves. Great value." According to the Wine Spectator: "A brawny red. Plenty of berry and beef flavors, with some smoky notes on the finish. Drink now through 2010. 800 cases imported." (10/06)
