Acclaim
A fresh, vibrant red, it reveals layers of crushed rocks, minerals, grilled herbs, dark jammy fruit and French oak in a rich, full-bodied frame. This is another beautifully balanced wine from Argiolas.
— Wine Advocate, Apr 2009
Korem is a deeply layered and intense wine with high complexity and deep concentration. This is a generous and full wine with smooth tannins and a sour hint on the close.
