Acclaim
“This wine will transport you to a small country house with a garden. The nose is an enticing blend of earthy, stemmy herbs and a mix of dried and fresh blackberries, tart raspberries and sun-dried cranberries. Flavors of dried flowers, ripe cherries and mixed spices lift the palate, but the structure and elegance of the wine are the stars.” — Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2024
“This red’s black currant, iron and cedar aromas and flavors suggest Cabernet Sauvignon, with additional black cherry and plum fruit adding depth. Vibrant and alluring, with fine harmony and structure, offering a lingering finish.” — Wine Spectator, Sep 2024
