A gift from our daughter. Just lovely. Perfect balance of fruit, structure, and tannin.

Not oaky. Not sweet. Just concentrated fruit and generous acid...very balanced wine actually for 15.9 alcohol. I got blackberry, plum, a little chocolate and vanilla. 93-94

Feb 28th, 2019Plum, cassis, currant, blueberry, lavender, grape juice, fig, & stale cigarette smoke on the nose. Juicy front with a sharply dry finish. Lightly tart notes of dark cherry, raspberry jam, lush cranberry, blackberry, blueberry, & violet. Medium-plus acidity. Not as bold as I prefer, but still lovely.
