Heavy plum & tobacco. Hits of currant, vanilla, and oak. Mild tannins. Great with fatty meats.

Slightly sweet but not overly. Notes of maple and plum. Great with our cast iron pizza (peperoni, moz, onion, and arugala).

Red fruits. Raspberry, red currant, pommagranite. Cedar and fresh oak, zero vanilla. Touch of yellow bell pepper (that one that u can't quite understand) White pepper hiding on the finish. Fine tannins, but a little wood tannin remains on the teeth and drying. 91pts -DRUMS

Enjoyed this one. Had the 2018 in March of 2024. Some plum and a hint of oak. Light spice with some vanilla. Was tasty. Too bad it was a little WSJ bottle. Hoping to find it somewhere someday.

Won this bottle in a wine pull…paid double the value, but I think we have a winner that will see a great ROI! Nice balance and not too sweet

Fruit forward, rounded out with some oak, soft tannins, nice lift. Very chuggable but not too jammy.

A really lovely smooth wine. Pairs really well with sausages, pasta, or on its own. A lovely wine
