This new wine from importer Bart Broadbent offers cherry, raspberry and plum aromas along with a touch of well-applied oak. It’s a little tannic and biting in the mouth, but with food that should be no issue. Flavorwise, it’s dealing slightly burnt notes atop full-fledged black cherry and wild berry. A firm, edgy wine with many good qualities. ——M.S.(5/1/2011)—— 88
