A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: This is a medium- to full-bodied wine, a bit chunky and edgy at first, but these characters should mellow with another few months in the bottle. It's boldly flavored, with black cherry and beet notes upfront, while subtle mocha and vanilla shadings emerge on the finish. Score - 90 (Joe Czerwinski, Wine Enthusiast, July 1, 2016) |
