Where to begin? This is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, medium full bodied with the velvety smoothness of a Bordeaux but the slight acidity and bite of a Rhone. Dark, silky cherries predominate with just a touch of mocha. The finish manages to be both dusty and tingly. Must buy this now...

Dec 15th, 2016Been hanging onto this bottle but haven't found the right occasion... Finally curiosity got the best of me. Great mouthfeel! Cherries, mocha, some nice brightness that makes it pair well with food.

Nov 29th, 2016Cherry red color Nice dry wine, smells of plum and wet dirt. A bit tannic, there is a bit of sourness there. Some other flavors that I am not able to describe, maybe with time. Overall very good wine.
