Vivid garnet. Cherry pit, red currant, cigar box, coconut and floral qualities on the fragrant nose. Smooth and expansive on the palate, offering appealingly sweet red fruit, candied rose, cola and licorice flavors and a building vanilla quality. Closes long and spicy, with a repeating cherry note and supple tannins that lend discreet grip. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, April 2021)

I like this wine. But it needs to be open for about an hour. At first, I was disappointed. It was a little hot and barnyardy. But then the fruit came out, and it was like a delicious cherry vanilla cola.

Fuller body, aged oaked leathery aroma, with a smooth spiced finish.

Dark ripe red cherry nose. Slightly bloody color, full smooth body. Plum, pepper, old leather, chewy. Cherries coming through tannins. Deliciously drinkable. Mushroom and sausage marinara on the stove- simmering- yes to this and a late lazy afternoon..... old and new Jazz and the fire my happy dog curled next to it.
