James Suckling Review
Rated 92
An affordable, cabernet-based red blend with a Rhone slant, it's full-bodied, full-fruited and broad on the palate. Meaty, spicy, earthy elements blend with deep black cherries, chocolate, black pepper and spiced plums. Moderate tannins don't keep it from being easy to sip. Drink now.
