Review of 2004 vintage: 91 Points Wine Spectator: "Rich and complex, showing layers of firm, ripe black cherry, plum and wild berry fruit that's well-structured, with the flavors sailing on through the finish. With good tannins and fine balance, this should provide lots of fun drinking over the next five years. Drink now through 2011. 800 cases made." (current vintage not yet rated).
