Reviews
A firm, silky red with lots of structure and intensity. It’s full-bodied and tannic, yet the phenolics are polished and well defined. Pretty freshness, despite the hot growing season. Drink or hold.
Dried cherries, wild strawberries, fresh citrus and orange rind. Full body, polished tannins and a succulent, fresh finish. Drink now.
Alluring aromas of dark berry, saddle leather, truffle and tilled soil meld together with dark spice. The bright medium-bodied palate shows cranberry, sour cherry and star anise framed in polished tannins. Vibrant acidity lends verve. Drink through 2024.
