90-91 Robert Parker - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2001 Firebreak is a big, juicy, succulent offering. Its most noticeable characteristic is the texture as the loads of glycerin create plushness. There are no hard edges from acid, alcohol, or tannin. It is a big, juicy, flattering red with plenty of substance and intensity. Drink it over the next 5-7 years."
