A richly fruity wine, its tannins comfortably entrenched in a plump structure. Wood flavors are in the background, giving extra richness. With its dark plum fruits, acidity and tannins, the wine will age well.  — R.V.  (12/31/2011)

Smooth wood aromas that are followed on the palate to give a soft, caramel and vanilla flavored wine, licked by fresh lemon acidity. The wood needs a year to settle in.  — R.V.  (11/1/2010)
