Rating for United States-California: 79 (slightly worse than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: unpredictable<br/>

This is like a gangly teenager, young and a bit inelegant but charming. Shows robust black cherry and spice aromas and blackberry jam and licorice flavors. The tannins firm up the finish. Drink now through 2012. Score - 91. (James Laube, www.winespectator.com, March 31, 2008)
