Ultra-dry with a tannic grip yet there's also mouth-watering acidity. Dark cherry and smoke. Needs cellar time.

Reviews and Ratings

Kristin Perrin rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Where do I start? Earthy rich cherry on the nose with some red licorice, leather and subtle spice. It is equally unctuous on the palate with some solid acidity to back everything up. The tannins and body are moderate-plus. I want my mom's spaghetti bolognese with this beauty! The wine is good to go now, but if you have the willpower to wait, it will benefit from further aging (2-5 years). By the way, the finish is still lingering in my mouth.....

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
