So many different flavors and aromas surface in the Simi that it’s like a day at the market. The bouquet shows appealing raspberry sorbet, root-beer, popcorn and cigar-box notes. The mouth bursts with rich caramel, semi-sweet chocolate, paprika and deep black fruit flavors. Well-balanced and nicely integrated, it finishes with pepper-herb-mineral notes and medium tannins.——W.E.(10/1/2001)—— 89
