Reviews and Ratings

Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Blackberries, raspberry, a touch of earthy aromas also present in this one. On the palate, fruity and tart with a touch of smoke. M+ body and acidity. Nicely balanced.
Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Super fun and playful. Loaded with primary red fruit, a whiff of herb and nice racy acidity. Pour yourself an overflowing glass with pizza or roast chicken and let the good times roll. 89 Points
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Tart cranberry, baked cherry, rustic spice, with medium dusty tannins. Pairs well with roasted turkey, roast chicken or pork roast. Tasted 2016 vintage in July 2017. Enjoy soon. 88 points
