2008 PB Wines (Rasa Vineyards) Kiona Vineyard Red Mountain Red Mountain (750ml)

"88 out of 100 - (this 67/33 blend was put together at the end) Good full red with ruby highlights. Red fruits, licorice, graphite and a meaty nuance on the nose, along with a whiff of green pepper. Then nicely harmonious in the mouth, with attractive sweetness of fruit and texture. Finishes with fine-grained tannins and nice length. This needs a year or so to knit. - Stephen Tanzer, vinous.com
