Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"This wine boasts aromas of black raspberry, ripe strawberry and cassis with complementary hints of cherry pie, graham cracker and espresso beans. The palate mimics savory and complex flavors of brambleberry, blueberry, nutmeg spice and brown sugar. Moderate alcohol, firm acidity and velvety tannins help to frame a delicious, flavor-packed finish. Beautiful in its youth, this wine can easily be enjoyed now or in the next 5-8 years."

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"This is a well-made red, blended with Petit Verdot, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec, then aged in French, Hungarian and American oak. Black pepper, cigar and toasted oak notes combine around a force of black currant, the wine offering a touch of reduction." -VB, 4/1/22
87 Points - Wine Spectator
"Showcases açaí berry, blueberry and melted black licorice notes that are enmeshed with each other, carried by a creamy feel through an overtly toasty finish. This is a bit top-heavy in the end. Drink now through 2024. 2,000 cases made." -JM, 2/24/22
