91 Connoisseurs Guide to Wine

"Winemaker Jeff Cohn has a special knack for wines of concentration and depth, and, while this extracted and highly ripened offering meets those expectations, it is complex and surprisingly nuanced as well. Its solid center of blackberry fruit is graced by sweet oak, hints of minerals and a slight touch of dried flowers, and its lengthy, tannin-firmed flavors show lots of potential for age. Far more than a simple display of chocolate and ripeness, this is one for the cellar and can be expected to develop for five or more years."
