Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: Pretty berry, chocolate and vanilla character, with medium body, fine tannins and a silky finish, a very good wine.

• Vinous: This was considered a great, great vintage in northern California, but not all wines have aged well. This one is a powerful mouthful of very direct, ripe berry fruit flavours that still seem young and aromas of spice and blackberry. (EM)
