Winemaker notes

Dark red dress with intense purple reflections. Charming nose of stone fruits, black tapenade with some spicy notes. Full and balanced palate, the tannins are silky and reveal aromas of black fruits, spices and undergrowth.

Wine Enthusiast 88: Fresh black-cherry and plum flavors are ripe but pure in this bright, fruity red. It's not deeply concentrated or complex but sunny and easy drinking. Fine but firm tannins frame the finish.

2018

James Suckling 90: Wild berries, plums, dried herbs, porcini and spice box on the nose follow through to a medium body with firm tannins. It’s rather dense with tannins framing the palate onto the chewy finish. Drink or hold.
