TASTING NOTE: Bold aromas of mint, spice and smoky cherry and plum lead to a full, fair and honest palate with choppy tannins. Toasty, minty, oak-heavy flavors of black plum, black currant, herbs and spice finish with good length and character. Drink through 2019. Score - 90 (Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast, Sept. 1, 2016) |
