Very juicy and jammy red fruit. Medium plus body.

Monique Sosa rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review:

Moderate to mild aromas but pronounced juicy jammy cherry berry and vanilla flavours. Acidity is lacking and tannins moderate to low. A sweet and jammy red lacking some grip and structure. Tasted March 2017 by @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca

Sylvain Segard rated this wine as 82/100 with the following review:

Bright deep ruby with purple rim. Intense jammy aroma of black berries and other small red fruit. On the palate, there is some sweetness and jammy raspberries, red cherries, and cassis. Fruity, almost cloying mouthfeel that subdues young gritty medium tannins. Lasting dark berry finish.

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Soft aromas of plum and vanilla. The taste is very ripe plum and black cherry with low acidity and a very soft, round mouth-feel. I paired this with a spicy bacon pizza.

Carola Price rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Nose full of jammy red fruit with some blackberry and coffee at the end. Sweet and jammy with a little plum in the mouth and a rather short finish. Pair with hamburgers and a rack of BBQ ribs. Drink now
