| TASTING NOTE: The fruit is 30% whole cluster fermented with 100% wild malolactic fermentation. It's aged in 100% French oak, all used barrels, for 22 months. There is a lovely, perfumed note on the nose with Bing cherries, black raspberries, cassis, forest floor, subtle savouriness and spice. It's silky smooth on the palate and loaded with red berries, a touch of aniseed and red currants with earthy notes, spice, and a lifted, finessed finish. Can age for a bit to soften the acidity on the finish. Score - 92 (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, Dec. 14, 2023) |
