91 Points

Sunday, February 12, 2012 - The nose is mature and complex, showing intermingling tones of ripe strawberry, rose petal, forest floor, warm spice, and radish. The palate follows accordingly, opening with gorgeous fresh mixed berries complicated by mature notes of sundried tomato. The mid-palate further integrates savory elements of dried green herbs and mushroom/forest floor. The finish is long and interesting with arising tart cranberry, aged tobacco, violet flowers, and fine tannins. Though mature, the wine retains a fresh acid core, simultaneously lifting and defining flavor complexities as well as adding verve to the lengthy finish. This wine is a delight, expertly balancing authentic fruit with interesting secondary complexity. R&M 91
