WA 90Andy Frieden, JJ Buckley, April 2012
Nearly opaque red core with a brick rim. Sweet cherry and cassis aromas balance classic Bordeaux scents of cigar box and damp earth on the fragrant nose. A soft entry of cherry and plum fruit flavors joined by wood and earth, builds with cool precision to an extremely balanced, medium bodied-wine. A food wine to please all tastes, this will complement poultry dishes and pair well with Montreal-encrusted steak, and ahi tuna in olive tapenade.

This 7.5 acre vineyard has produced an impressively endowed 2001 offering sweet notes of candied cherries intertwined with smoke, licorice, and Provencal herbs. Plump, medium to full-bodied, seductive, and fleshy, it will provide plenty of pleasure over the next 7-8 years.
