WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The nose is dark and earthy, with notes of sandalwood, bramble, and black cherry. The palate is structured by fine-grain tannins that lift vibrant red fruit flavors through the finish.
TASTING NOTES:
Aromas of sour cherries, redcurrants, sliced mushrooms, fresh soil and cigar box. It’s medium-bodied with sleek tannins and bright acidity. Juicy and crunchy with a fresh, flavorful finish. Drink now.

Sleek and vibrant, with delicately layered raspberry, pomegranate and rose petal accents that linger on the finish.
- Wine Spectator, 90 pts.
A pretty plum color, this fills the mouth with sweet blackberry and marionberry fruit. The acidity is buoyant and the tannins proportionate, and it's a well-crafted, moderately powerful wine. It finishes on the chewy side, as the tannins clot up and turn a bit earthy.
