the sixth release of this outstanding reserve holds firm to the well-established style. bright, tart, ripe and compact red-berry fruit is set against firm, polished tannins. still young and hard, it needs plenty of breathing time, or better yet, cellar it for a few years. tim stevens's reds have proven ageworthy, and this earthy, smoky, textural and well-crafted effort should improve for a decade or more.
