Score 91+/100 · Josh Raynolds, Nov 2011
(includes 14% alicante bouschet, 4% petite sirah and 2% carignane): Inky ruby. Deeply pitched aromas of black and blue fruits, vanilla bean and cola, with floral and spice accents adding complexity and lift. Broad, pliant and juicy in the mouth, offering lush blackberry and mulberry flavors and a hint of cracked pepper. Leaves a spicy note behind on the long, licorice-tinged finish. This is a baby.
