Critical Reviews

Focused and deftly wrought, with rich pomegranate, plum and blackberry flavors floating over superfine tannins. The elements move weightlessly through the long, expressive, and open-textured finish. Drink now through 2023. ~93 Wine Spectator.

Aromas of vanilla, baking spice, herb and dark fruit lead to tart, full cranberry and cherry flavors. Coffee notes linger on the finish and the tannins provide a gentle grip. ~90 Wine Enthusiast.
