Critic tasting note: "Concentrated aromas of red cherry liqueur, sagebrush and a hint of toasted oak show on the nose of this bottling, which is from a vintage that harvested less than a half-ton per acre from this vineyard. Sandalwood, chaparral scrub and earthy juniper play along with the cranberry and red plum flavors on the palate. Matt Kettmann" - 92/100, Wine Enthusiast
