"Inky violet. Highly perfumed boysenberry and blueberry aromas are enlivened by exotic floral pastille, vanilla and incense notes, plus a subtle hint of graphite. Suave and silky in texture, showing impressively pure dark berry and fresh cherry flavors on a midweight frame. Whatever tannins might be here are buried under an avalanche of pure, sweet fruit. Downright sexy shiraz, finishing sweet and long, with a persistent candied violet note. (Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA) 93 points."

"Ripe and focused, with creamy blueberry, plum and white pepper mingling effectively on a supple frame. Not a powerhouse, but beautifully put together. Drink now through 2015. 1,000 cases made. –HS" The Wine Spectator, Oct. 15, 2007.
