Allen Meadows - Score: 93-96 (2010 January)

It's surprising how expressive this normally reticent wine is already with a kaleidoscopic array of spice and red berry fruit elements nuanced by floral notes that can also be found on the mildly wood-influenced, delineated, intense and powerful medium weight plus flavors that retain a fine sense of focus on the driving, palate staining and hugely long finish. A 'wow' wine.
