90 Points

Tuesday, July 9, 2013 - The wine is a deep purple color. The intoxicating nose has crushed blackberries, charred meat, black pepper, potpourri, eucalyptus, and Asian spices. This has medium to full body, fairly solid tannins, and very nice acidity. The wine is a bit more restrained on the palate with blackberries, pepper, and spice taking center stage with some dark chocolate and a minty note coming in on the back end. The finish has decent length but does leave you wanting a bit more. This is still on the young side and the finish may flesh out a bit more with some cellar time. For under $20 this is a steal.
