Allen Meadows - Score: 91 (2016 Feb.)

As it did when I first reviewed it in late 2012 soft wood still frames gently spiced aromas of earth, raspberry and black cherry before sliding gracefully into suave and silky middle weight flavors that terminate in a supple, round and mouth coating yet moderately firm finish. This is progressing nicely and while it is still at least 4 to 6 years away from its peak there is already fine complexity and length. Moreover, like most of Mugneret's wines they can be enjoy young but will last for years. In a word, lovely.
