A Best Buy
TASTING NOTE: Deep plum and black cherry flavors are shrouded by toasty oak, along with leather and leafy underbrush notes. Hefty tannins offer support, but the weight is offset by sweet fruit and a lengthy aftertaste. Drink now through 2024. Score - 91 (Bruce Sanderson, winespectator.com, May 31, 2017) Price $ 29.95
Bottle Size 750 mL
