| TASTING NOTE: This lively red shows a good balance of tart cherry and smoky oak notes, with leafy, licorice and mineral accents. Shows more energy than weight, featuring light tannins and bright acidity. Focused and graceful. Drink now through 2020. Score - 90 (Thomas Matthews, winespectator.com, Dec. 15, 2015) |
