Aug 3rd, 2017Great pairing with roasted chicken, not too rich and not a lot of anise either. Different but a great pairing. Bright red fruits.

Oct 23rd, 2016Sweet perfume fragrances fill the glass. Beautiful tastes of red currant and plum, along with a smoky oak undertone on the palate. Incredibly smooth tannins give this wine a solid backbone. Complex flavors and aromas make this a fantastic wine.
