An exceptional, full-bodied wine. Tasted a lot of black cherry, currants, cedar, and creme de cassis. Drinking great now, but should last a long time in the cellar. — 21 days ago
This is special. Bold, ripe and textured. Nose presents white fruits, green apples, nutmeg and a spring day. Dry-ish finish on the mid palate which is laser focused.

Pale ruby in color; cherries, hibiscus, and dried leaves on the nose; medium acidity; medium minus tannins; tastes like raspberries, pomegranates, cloves, and wet slate with a long finish. I like it and Nellie liked it with food. — 13 days ago
