TASTING NOTE: Not everyone will appreciate the intensity of this wine, made partially with raisined grapes. Those who dare, will be surprised by the freshness underpinning the fruit concentration and the acidity that offsets the sturdy tannins. Intense blackberry, black cherry on the broad palate followed by finish of prunes and hedgerow. Drinking window: 2022-2026. Score - 92 (Ines Salpico, decanter.com, April 22, 2022) Price $ 17.95
