94 Points – “Fairly rich in the mouth but not weighty, with great intensity supported by succulent acidity.  The tannins here are round and ripe adding volume to the mouth.  This is gorgeous, just packed with berry flavor, spiced nuance, cola that is not sweet, and lovely citrusy acid that lends this some cranberry notes.  There’s some oak spice and a hint of heat on the finish, which is long and redolent of rip red fruits, dusted with cocoa and a hint of allspice.  Has the power of the best with real finesse and freshness.”  Global Tasting Initiative, November 2011
