91 VM. "(Made with 100% whole clusters and 12.9% alcohol; all neutral oak): Bright purple. High-pitched aromas of dark berries, cherry skin and violet, with a peppery nuance. Very syrah. Sappy and precise, offering taut black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and a jolt of cracked pepper. Silky tannins give shape to the finish, which leaves spice and floral notes behind."
