This winery continues to turn out well-made, attractive red wines meant to be drunk in their first 4-5 years of life. The 1988 Reserve Red possesses a hardness that kept my score low. It exhibits fine spicy, ripe cassis fruit, and plenty of depth and richness, but the acidity level is too high for my taste. Nevertheless, I like the general character of the wine. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.
