“Offers aromas and flavors of cherry, flowers, leather and spice, with earthy, chewy tannins and an overall grainy profile. Stays long on the finish. Features a sweet core and will be fine with time.”

“... classy, elegant and polished. A nuanced wine for the year. Sweet tobacco, crushed flowers, mint and dried cherries are all laced together nicely. … decidedly restrained in style ..."

“Dried berry and fresh flower character. Some walnuts. Primary fruit. Medium to full body, chewy tannins and a tangy finish. A little hard and angular. Give it two or three years to soften.”

"This fragrant red opens with violet, red berry, crushed herb and menthol scents. It's bright and elegant, offering raspberry, juicy Marasca cherry, white pepper and clove flavors alongside polished tannins. A saline note signals the close."
