Description
91, Wine Enthusiast
A jammy, full-bodied wine, this is now mature. With its wood aging and opulent black fruits, it is spicy, perfumed with a core of dark tannins. Drink this powerful wine now. — Roger Voss
90, Decanter World Wine Awards
89, Wine Spectator
Full, plush tannins support the focused, layered profile of ripe blackberry and red plum flavors. Details of chocolate shavings, mineral and spice lend complexity through the herb-tinged finish. Drink now through 2023. 12,500 cases made, 1,000 cases imported. – Gillian Sciaretta
