Robust, masculine big dark berries with a "rolo" finish. A spectacular wine for the value. So good, I ordered a second bottle.

Bold initial mouthfeel. Strawberry pie (is that real thing? Whatever, that's what it tastes like). Vanilla. Peppermint. Blueberry. Incredibly long finish.

A new favorite. Beautiful fruit and wine crafted by none other than Phillipe Melka with La Grande Dame, Robyn Lail.
