Wine Reviews

92 points | John Schreiner
"This is something of a thespian wine, strutting on stage with dramatic aromas of cherry, mocha and spice. These are echoed on the silky textured palate. The upfront fruit gives this wine immediate appeal."

89 points | Anthony Gismondi
" The style is fresh, the nose a mix of red berries, the palate more of the same with some plums and spice and just a hint of sour cherry in the finish for complexity. Easy sipping this slides down effortlessly... This is a fun wine for light pizzas, salmon sushi, or duck paté."
