This REPEAT has 13.5% alcohol and now 3 g/L residual sugar (down from 5 g/L residual sugar). TONY ASPLER / 88-points / TRY - Smoky, charred, blackberry nose; full-bodied, dry, juicy fruit; chunky mouth-feel with a firm tannic finish.

TASTING NOTE: Notes of olive, herbs, flowers, orange peel, gravel, meat, coffee and light barrel spices leap up on a wine that shows a lot of aromatic complexity. The fruit and savory flavors are plush and full in feel followed by a lingering finish. There's a whole lot of wine delivered for this price. Best Buy. Score - 90 (Sean P. Sullivan, Wine Enthusiast, March 2016) Price $ 19.95
