  Well we got two 91's and a 75! This is new at private store - meets what i expected from region and what is in the bottle. Not getting as much wood/oak as others (don't like much of it either). This has a light nose of some dark fruit and subtle earthy note. Palate is light to medium bodied with light acid/tannin such that pleasant to drink without food. Nice level of that dark fruit and some other slight more complex notes - perhaps not as descript as others below. Finish is medium length and not over oaked at all.
  
  I like this for what it is and the borderline pricey 22$ CAN. Will try its cheaper brother, but i suspect will be more uninspiring.

  Very interesting nose of green bell pepper, jalapeño , dark fruits, new leather black pepper and lots and lots of oak.
  Medium bodied palate with a similar flavors to the nose. Green bell pepper, black pepper and good dose of spice is very nice. This has a bit of a rustic feel to it with tight tannin structure and balanced acidity.
  Outstanding Quality. 91 pts.
  Drink now - 2016.
