Aaron: Charcoal on the nose set the tone for a consistently earthy bottle. The black granite flavor was a bit chalky with a few red fruits, mostly raspberry. A hint of oak and velvety vanilla rounded this out a bit but rock was the predominant feature. 89 points
Teri: This is a hearty red that would stand up well with rich sauces, red meat, and cheeses. I tasted mostly rich spicy and oaky flavors with dark plum and smooth oak on the finish. Noticeable tannins add to the body of the wine and lay down smooth leaving beautiful flavors without harshness on the swallow. 91 points
