Acclaim
“Peppercorns, blackberries, vanilla and chocolate wafers on the nose. Juicy and fresh with a full body, soft tannins and peppery finish. Garnacha and syrah. Why wait? Drink now.” — James Suckling, Sep 2023
“This violet-red colored wine has aromas of black plums and English toffee. It is soft on entry with flavors of black plum, candied orange peel, and finely ground black pepper.”– (Best Buy)
— Wine Enthusiast, Nov 2023
