Tasting Notes

Opens with beautiful aromas of lavender, clary sage and violet. Refined and detailed, with velvety tannins adding some appealing traction to the core of raspberry and black cherry. Everything comes together with tremendous harmony on the long, generous finish. Drink now through 2030.

MaryAnn Worobiec, Wine Spectator, May 2017

This has performed very well in 2015 with red cherries, boysenberries and blueberries amid a swathe of sappy forest and bracken notes. Subtle toasty oak here too. The palate is full and fleshy, packed with rich red and dark cherry and cocoa powder flavors. Tannins clasp the finish neatly with nicely judged structure and grip. Drink now. Screw cap.
