A Best Buy
TASTING NOTE: Minerally and firm on the nose, it bursts with blackberry and plum aromas. In the mouth, this is lively and medium bodied, while nice acidity allows it to roll over the palate while showing earthy flavors of black fruits and rubber. A saucy, leathery, meaty-tasting finish is friendly in feel. Score - 90 (Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast, July 2014) Price $ 15.95
