Critic Ratings
Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 93:
Opulent in texture and super-concentrated in fruit and oak flavors, this wine has a big presence, from the inky dark color to the baking spice and blackberry jam flavors to massive but soft tannins. Made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the wine is bold, full-bodied and packed with flavor.
