TASTING NOTE: It's important to get the temper right of these blends and this one does. It's not too sweet, not overoaked, not too alcoholic. And yet it's ripe and earthen and well-fruited. It flows, it's succulent, it's not simple, and it drinks like a charm. Drink By: 2022. Special Value. Score - 93 (Campbell Mattinson, winecompanion.com.au, March 1, 2017) Price $ 19.95
Bottle Size 750 mL
