Firm in texture, generous with its cedary black currant flavors and a touch of dried herb on the finish. Drink now. Wine Spectator 88/100;

This has elegance and presence, striking a lovely balance between firm texture and fresh fruit flavors, with raspberry, cherry and sage character against fine-grained tannins. The flavors persist winningly. Best from 2009 through 2015. Wine Spectator 90/100;

A ripe Bordeaux-style blend, with savory meat and rosemary notes weaving through the generous currant and cherry flavors. The fine tannins don't get in the way, and the finish rolls on nicely. Drink now. Wine Spectator 90/100;
