What the critics say...
Wine Spectator: 82 points(01/01/2011)
"This austere red offers mineral, game and smoke flavors, with light notes of cherry and plum. The tannins are light but firm, even gritty, and the finish is tart. Drink now through 2014."
Pairing: Aged Cheese, Game Animals, Grilled Red Meats, Legume, Roasts, Stews.
