A beautiful place that made this very good wine. Tastes of blackberry, plum, mocha and spice. Tannins all smoothed out. Full bodied and truly New World. Would buy again from CARO. — 7 days ago

We had to the 2019 Vintage on 11/22/25. A very good full bodied wine. The bouquet and flavor profile are darker and more subdued fruit compared to a Napa floor wine. There is some mocha and minerality. This wine would be better in five years. — 12 days ago
