Bright ruby color. Cherry and plum aromas are complemented by a subtle tobacco quality. Midweight dark fruit flavors are given a firm edge by bitter licorice and herbal qualities, with supple tannins adding grip. Finishes on a tangy berry skin note, with good cut. This is far from heavy and would work well with lighter red meat dishes. Score – 88. (Josh Raynolds, International Wine Cellar, July/August 2009)
