Wine Advocate 90 points - This blend of 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc from the eastern hills of St. Helena exhibits a dark plum/purple color as well as a big, rich perfume of toffee, mocha, chocolate, espresso roast, and berry fruit. Medium-bodied, pure, and elegant, with an attractive, savory finish, it should be consumed over the next 5-7 years. (Dec 2006)
Wine Spectator 88 points - Supple-textured, with ripe, plush currant, plum and blackberry fruit that's well-proportioned, rich and concentrated. Tannins are ripe and integrated. Complex aftertaste. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2010. 500 cases made. –JL (Nov 30 2006)
