93pts Wine Enthusiast

This wine is rich with aromas of baked cherry, cinnamon and potpourri on the nose. The midpalate has flavors of brambled strawberry, raspberry, black cherry, pink peppercorn and molasses interlaced with dried herbs, juicy red plum and a dry finish.

Soft and broad in feel, with friendly flavors of mulled cherry and raspberry fruit that glide through, backed by a curl of red tea on the finish. Drink now through 2028. 4,370 cases made.

Winemaker Notes

Vivid aromas of black cherry, plum, clove and dried meadow grasses rise from the glass. Walt's signature technique of including roasted stems in the fermentation adds a lift of structure and spice to the ripe, plush palate. Dark fruit flavors lead to a finish with beautiful length.
