The wine gleams invitingly with its intensive and dense garnet red color. The complex bouquet captivates with discreet spicy aromas, with cocoa together with wild berries and sweet cherries in the background. Distinctive tannin structure, smooth fullness, playful yet rustic elegance and youthful freshness as well as a long, juicy finish classify the palate.

"Hints of smoke and bacon fat underscore the crushed black raspberry and boysenberry fruit of this well-balanced, medium-bodied red. Marries fine, taut tannins and plum skin acidity with the core of dark fruit. Accents of star anise, dried dill and thyme play out on the chewy finish."
— Alison Napjus, 2024
