TASTING NOTE: This taut red offers a fine mix of cherry and raspberry fruit, with earth, licorice and savory mineral accents. The tannins are resonant, and the finish features lingering echoes of fruit and mineral. Drink now through 2020. Best Value. Score - 90 (Bruce Sanderson, winespectator.com, Sept. 30, 2015) |
