Very rich, complex, robust blend with hints of blackberry, raspberry and chocolate. Rated 92 by Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate describes the wine as “Very big, full-bodied, the chewy foundation supports generous black fruit preserves flavors with just enough kick to enliven the long, spicy finish.”
