90 Points Polished and focused, this red offers savory notes of licorice, smoke and mineral that frame a core of black cherry and leafy flavors. Firm tannins and fresh acidity support the smooth texture. ~Thomas Matthews, Wine Spectator, December 2015 Download Shelf Talker: Campeador Shelf Talker Small 4 x 3.
