Sickly sweet cherry plum syrup on the nose with notes of vanilla and cloves. Luscious mouthfeel. Liquid smoke and chambord, grilled plums, and raspberry jam on the palate. Mild tannins. Long luxurious finish. The alcohol level is just too high. — 2 months ago

2020 vintage. Somewhat out of balance with massive fruit components right out of the blocks and not enough structure /tannins. Hoping this resolves posthaste. 2.21.23 — 7 months ago

This wine is all over it—in terms of acid/alcohol/body balance yessss. I have my tasting notes: hardcore slate mineralogy and sweet red fruit and bits and bobs of white pepper…interestingly other reviewers had other exact nose/palate notes but overall we like the wine so it’s like that person you adore then meet someone else who loves them for another reason. And so on. All over this is a new favorite. — 7 months ago
