K Vintners Ovide 2007

95 Points - Wine Spectator     Big and generous, but stays light enough on its feet to make the powerful black olive-scented currant, plum and peppery spice flavors sing with refinement. An undercurrent of minerality adds interest and depth, and the finish persists impressively. Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Best from 2012 through 2020.

93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate    The 2007 Ovide en Cerise is composed of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Syrah. Meaty, gamey, and kinky on the nose, on the palate it is medium to full-bodied with an easy-going personality. This friendly effort is loaded with fruit, Asian spices, and herbs leading to a lengthy, pure finish. 

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast    Two-thirds Cabernet and one-third Syrah, this is a creative blend of Cayuse grapes, with the pungent, herbal, earthy character that the En Cerise vineyard delivers in spades. The fruit is a mix that hints at peaches, citrus and more, with an undercurrent of black olive and smoke. But the overriding flavours come from spice, herb, earth and rock.
