95 Points

Wednesday, March 31, 2004 - On the nose, this has similarities to a premium shiraz. Even based on color, viscosity, and aromas, it's an imposter for Fox Creek reserve or Kay Brothers Block 6. On the palate there are similarities as well—the lush kirsch and blueberry flavors and mouth-coating texture. But this wine takes it to another level. It has intrusive tannins that you can feel on your teeth and every step of the way to a long finish. Enjoyable now, but shouldn't be touched for another 10 years. Potentially a 96-97.
