A Best Buy
TASTING NOTE: A bright and harmonious red, set in a medium- to full-bodied frame, with fine-grained tannins supporting finely meshed layers of ripe mulberry, delicate dried marjoram and fragrant leather, revealing an undertow of fresh earth and mineral. A beauty that should open nicely in a decanter or with time in the cellar. Drink now through 2027. Score - 92 (Alison Napjus, winespectator.com, Sept. 30, 2017) Price $ 24.95
