Dark plummy fruit. This is a great, pristine bottle. Gnarly fruit, depth and purity. Amazing stuff.

Vintage 2016 | Fruitiness and elegance. Cherries in smell. Dinnerwine. Paired with pasta and truffle. Happiness, I can assure you.

What a perfect summer wine for the grill: local steak, tomato salad & corn. Soft but powerful, the oak seems to really tickle & invite, especially on the nose & finish.

Soft bricked edges. Gentle cherry with a spicy, woody note. Very pretty.

Mmmm this is a tasty one! Lovely aromas and flavors of black cherry, blackberry and pomegranate with under notes of vanilla, cinnamon, tobacco, and new-car leather. All this plus smooth as silk tannins and luscious acidity made this an incredible pairing for roasted ox-tail. Doesn’t get much better than this!
