Reviewed by 12pack on Tuesday, September 5, 2006 on Corkd.com
The wine is full-bodied and has a velvety texture. It tastes like supple leather with fig, berry, and a spice ending. The tannins are pleasant. Wine Spectator gave it an 89. It may be a bit over the top big, but it is still a great value and a very pleasant wine.
