Cherry, balsamic, some spice as it warms up. Red fruit, and quite a lot of sour cherry on the palate. Fairly noticable VA with balsamic coming through. A bit of toasty oak in the finish with medium tannin. Quite drinkable.

I have a fairly high threshold for VA, but this is pushing it. Rustic wine that shines with food.

Wow, great aromas and still good juicy fruit. Very interesting almost like a burgundy.

2012 Vintage for Valentines 2020?? Way too old. Didn't notice the age when I bought it a few days ago.

Very nice! Rates close to our favorite wine! Very smooth with enough body and flavor to enhance a meal. Great to sip alone.
