“Very attractive, perfumed nose with cherries and raspberries, hints of spiced cedar, walnut and moist earth. Medium- to full-bodied with grainy tannins and chalky texture. There’s freshness to the red fruit with racy, citrusy notes at the end.”

“A beautifully fruity, almost juicy personality that paints an authentic portrait of this grape. The Congo winemaking team has worked out its approach to elegant wines.”

“This is fresh with notes of blackberry, violet, and black pepper followed by a pure, fresh, full-bodied red. With fine tannins, a silky texture, and a vertical lift on the finish, this pleasant wine casts a long net for appreciation and can pair across the table.”
