(70% cabernet sauvignon and 30% syrah) Inky ruby. Powerful dark berry, licorice and smoked meat scents are impressively pungent and sharpened by cracked pepper and baking spices. Showing its syrah side today. Supple and deep in dark berry preserve flavors, with velvety tannins adding support. Gains weight and sweetness on the finish, leaving a strong boysenberry quality behind. This is already drinking very well. - Steven Tanzer Steven Tanzer's International Wine Cellars 90 Points
