Wine Advocate 92 points - An improvement over the debut 2002, this blend of 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc is a limited production (400 cases) wine expensively packaged in a heavy bottle with a designer label. It exhibits a deep ruby/purple color along with a big, sweet nose of roasted espresso, mocha, chocolate, black cherries, and currants. Well-textured, with superb fruit purity and intensity, full body, and a long finish, it should be consumed over the next 7-8 years.  (Dec 2005)

Wine Spectator 93 points - Dark in color, with wonderful perfumed cassis, currant and black cherry fruit that’s openly aromatic. The flavors are rich and polished on the palate, with a plush, dense texture and a long, intricate finish that picks up nuances of cedary oak and fresh earth. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2012.—J.L. (Jul 13 2005)
