96 Points.  Platinum Medal. Beverage Testing Institute. Opaque garnet color.  Aromas of chocolate walnut brownies, dates, currants, seared bacon and earthy heirloom tomato follow through on a plush, velvety entry to a dry-yet-fruity mediumm-full body with layers of dried fruits, delicate anise, black olive, and mossy minerals.  Finishes with a long, elegant, highly polished fade.  A fantastically smooth and finesseful wine to pair with the finest filet mignon.
