David Shaw’s review is spot on so I’m borrowing some language and descriptions. Ruby red and medium bodied. Wild strawberry, pomegranate, and cranberry. Tart with some black pepper on the finish. Paired well with duck breast. — a day ago

Cherry, raspberry, hints of cola and eucalyptus. Others said loamy soil, and now I have a better way to describe the earthiness of wines like this. Balanced and pairs beautifully with salmon and lentils. — a month ago

Bright cherry, some white floral notes, a bit of effervescence, and hints of bay leaf. Fruit is intense and feels closer to new world, but there’s depth and earthiness that maintains the old world charm. — 2 months ago
