TASTING NOTE: This is a soft blend of five local varieties, offering a generous, concentrated wine. Black fruit tones are balanced by a strong mineral character that brings out a tight texture. From the end of 2016, it will be a fine, ripe and accessible wine. Best Buy. Score - 89 (Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 1, 2015) |
