Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

Ruby color with aromas of dark red fruits, black tea and herb spice, barrel-aged 10 months in French oak (29% new, 51% neutral, rest in concrete). On the palate flavors of black cherry, blackberry and plum with leather, graphite, black pepper, tea and herb spice. Pronounced soft fine tannins, long finish, well balanced with acidity, ending with fruit, herb, spice and flinty wet stone earthy character. Nice now! Will age a bit! — a month ago

Had in Newburyport at Brine - absolutely delicious. More like a zin but with the super bold edge taken off. Big, bold and would go great with lamb or steak — a month ago

Excellent!!!! A really nice Cabernet with dark cherry, blackberry, plum, earthiness, forest floor, mushroom, stewed fruits, and more! We decanted for more than a hour while cooking our rack of lamb and stir fried vegetables. — 7 months ago

Wow, I didn’t peg this for an Oregon Pinot Noir! I just tasted it blind and thought for sure it was a Bordeaux blend. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🇫🇷 🇺🇸
