90 points Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar (a blend of clones 7 and 337; includes 4% Petite Sirah): Good deep red-ruby. Perfumed aromas of currant, espresso and smoky, nutty oak, plus a hint of prune. Suave, dense and juicy, showing a milk chocolatey quality that reminded me of Merlot. Plenty of sweet oak here but has enough supporting currant fruit. 90 points (5/2014) Score: 88 Release Price: $85 Country: California Region: Napa Issue: Oct 31, 2014 Firm tannins are wrapped around a core of chewy red berry, red candy, currant and pomegranate notes.
