Critical Acclaim:
(15.2% alcohol; 81% cabernet sauvignon, 16% merlot, 2% cabernet franc and 1% malbec): Good bright, full red. Cranberry, currant and plum aromas are complicated by licorice, menthol and musky chocolate and lifted by violet and herbs; grew more mellow with air. Suave, sweet and nicely concentrated, with good definition to its berry, loam and spice flavors. Finishes with slightly dusty tannins and good energy. Score: 91 points -- Vinous, Nov 2013
A superb entry level effort that has not only layers of fruit and texture, but solid back-end structure, the 2010 Red Wine is a declassified blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, yet has 15% Merlot and a splash of Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc in there as well. Up-front, perfumed and intense, it offers up spice-laced red and black fruits, toast, cedar, vanilla and hints of chocolate to go with a full-bodied, mouth-filling and voluptuously textured palate. Lacking the polish and elegance that can be found in this estate's upper tier efforts, it nevertheless has superb fruit, ripe tannin and serious length. Enjoy it while you wait for this estate's other wines to mature. Drink now-2020. Score: 92 points -- The Wine Advocate #207
