Description
91 points Wine Enthusiast Magazine An awesome vintage that takes you on a Tunnel of Love ride, starts out dark, turns this way then that way, and finally bursts into the light. "This elegant well-polished wine offers deep black fruit flavors on an almost silky texture. Black cherry and blueberry mingle with light cedar, graphite and cocoa notes for a complex expression. It's gently wrapped in light tannins." Wine Enthusiast Magazine
