Super-sappy and sinewy, and loaded with cherry and lavender. If there was a forest floor flavor of hard candy, this wine would be the model. I love how Beaux Freres manages to be both crowd-pleasing and wine nerd stimulating. Also, Wine Spectator scored this wine 89 points, which is kind of sad and makes me embarrassed for them.

Wow. Spectacular aromatics and silky finish. Beautiful weight and texture on the pallet. Wonderful.

A really smooth, balanced wine. A denser profile than Russian River.

Cloves, anise, brambly black fruit meets pretty red fruit. Weighty like a '12, but successful. Duh. #winecrush #biased
