Acclaim
“Aromas of chocolate, berries and light vanilla follow through to a full body with velvety tannins and a delicious finish.”
— James Suckling, Aug 2014
“Smoky cherry and red berry aromas are complemented by cracked pepper, pipe tobacco and dried rose. Mocha and clove notes add complexity to sappy cherry and blackberry flavors, with zesty minerality providing lift. Graceful, sharply focused cabernet with very good finishing clarity and spicy persistence.
— International Wine Cellar, Feb 2014
