Seductive oak has a smooth vanilla bean edge, leading to a rich yet elegant core of spicy berry, mineral, mocha, gravelly earth and road tar. Most impressive on the finish, where the flavors retain their graceful balance and end with a long, persistent finish. Drink now through 2025. 855 cases made.?-- JL (10/2013)

Good dark ruby-red. Brooding aromas of dusty black cherry and licorice. In a powerful, very tight style, not showing the flesh or sweetness of the 2009.

Finishes firmly tannic, with mineral and saline elements. Tricky to taste today.- Stephen Tanzer (05/2012)
