WS: Intense, oak-tinged minerals hit the nose, accompanied by ripe plum and berry and hints of flowers. Full-bodied and chewy, with big, velvety tannins and fresh acidity that enhances the fruit flavors, leading to a long, well-balanced finish. Corvina. Best after 2008. 2,450 cases made. –JC |

($100) Deep red. Elegant aromas of red cherry, peach, passion fruit and spicy wood. Silky on entry, then compellingly fruity and aromatic, with lively acidity to keep the red cherry, black pepper and delicate balsamic flavors elegant and lithe. Finishes stylish and long, with soft, palate-caressing tannins. A wine with a history of aging well. 88 points
