"A big time sleeper of the vintage as well as a fabulous value, this dark ruby/purple-colored offering hit all cylinders in 2004, a credit to proprietor Jean Thiel. Supple tannins, a big, sweet, fleshy personality, and plenty of creme de cassis, cherry, earth, and background oak are found in this full-bodied, flamboyant wine. It can be drunk now or cellared for 15 or more years. Bravo!"
- Wine Advocate, June 2007
"Clean and fruity, with pretty mineral, berry and oak character. Medium body, firm tannins and a fresh finish."
- Wine Spectator, James Suckling, April 2005
