*91+ points “This wine is very well balanced and chalk-full of character... The tannins are round and well integrated, framing the fruit flavours nicely. A New World wine in style and character of the feminine variety. It’s a beautiful wine. ” Icon Wines, September 2010 *91 points “Very elegant with long lines of plummy richness and depth. There are enticing notes of tobacco, pepper and cassis in a lovely melange and lengthy finish. ” Natalie MacLean, NatalieMacLean.com, October 2010 *91 points “...aromas of sweet black raspberries and cherries with hints of blueberry, tobacco, sweet spices and mocha. The palate is bright, juicy fruit is layered with earth, minerals, bittersweet cocoa and dark coffee. It is smooth and very dry with fine, firm tannins.” The Wine Diva, winescores.ca, October 2010
