Allen Meadows - Score: 88-91 (2013 April)

A discreet touch of wood sets off the ripe and cool wild dark currant and pungent earth and humus scents that merge seamlessly into moderately rustic and vibrant medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by the well-integrated structure. There is also a bit of rusticity on the balanced and lingering finish and overall, this offers fine quality in the context of the appellation.
