Not a very well known producer, but wonderful for the price point! This wines biggest strength is it's beautiful structure.

Not disappointed , nor impressed. Flavors were balanced, but young. Smooth.
Nice everyday wine.

Meh. I opened it and it was tight. Once it opened up an hour later it was flat. Nice aromatics though.
