Description
Wine Spectator
This is generous in feel, with a plump edge to its cherry and damson plum fruit compote notes, offering hints of tobacco, warm earth and singed herbs that stay in the background. The light-handed toast lets everything knit easily through the finish.
94, Wine Enthusiast
This brand’s wines are consistently engaging even at this more widely available appellation cuvee level. Crisp cherry, raspberry, bay leaf and fennel aromas lead from the nose into a palate that’s alive with juicy red fruits and wild, peppery herbs.
