95 Points, GOLD MEDAL - "Exceptional"

 World Wine Championships - Deep garnet color. Sexy aromas of mocha fudge, boysenberry pie a la mode, and delicate smoky bacon with a round, silky dry-yet-fruity, medium-to-full body and a long, juicy red apple, melon, cocoa and dusty spice finish with supple tannins. A great choice for braised meats.
