Crisp and lively, with pretty spice and orange peel overtones to the dark berry flavors, lingering well. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2010. 1,200 cases made. -HS

Right out of the bottle come slightly hot, spicy, sharp flavors of bright raspberry and strawberry. This is all press juice from the vintage, and it carries some bite, along with lively, assertive, acidic fruit and lovely floral aromatics. It’s a screwcap red—approachable and fruity, but not simple or soft. Au contraire, it’s substantial and spicy, with plenty of acid and definition.——P.G.(5/1/2007)—— 88
