91 points from Wine Spectator: "Soft, ripe and appealing for its cherry and red berry flavors as they roll unimpeded over fine tannins and hang around on the fin- ish, where they suggest prosciutto and spice. Drink now through 2014.—H.S. "

I could not get Marcus to stop carrying on about how extraordinary this wine is. Clear garnet in color, this wine exhibits the aromas and flavors of classic Laurelwood and Yamhill series soil profiles, with a touch of Shea Vineyard earthiness. Fresh plums and blueberries dominate the broad palate, with a long, multilayered finish. Though still young, this wine is already showing a very food-friendly balance of softness and acidity.
