94pts Wine Enthusiast

This deep-ruby-colored wine has a nose of blackberry and salted almond toffee. Bright at first sip, it has luxurious tannins that support black-cherry, Mission fig, chocolate-covered-caramel, roast fennel-bulb and orange-zest flavors. Pleasing acidity and luxurious tannins stroll arm and arm into a lasting, dark-chocolate-infused finish.

Winemaker Notes

Bright red wine with garnet rim, turning to brick, showing its extended ageing in barrels and bottle. Complex aromas of mature dark fruit, vanilla and cinnamon spice with mineral notes. It has a velvety smooth texture with a harmonious long finish, fresh and a delicious balsamic character. Ageing potential 10-15 years.

Outstanding with roast meats, game and aged cheeses.
