Reviews + Accolades
Glowing purple, a touch lighter at the rim, very attractive lifted perfumed rose petal and peony bouquet. This sensual aspect is backed by a fine fresh tension alongside, and very good length. A sense of nobility, very lightly saline, but this helps to drive the fruit even further. - 93 Points - Jasper Morris
Though concentrated, with cherry, currant and boysenberry flavors, this red is also sleek and vibrant, with bright acidity and refined tannins, showing excellent balance and length. Sandalwood and earth notes add detail. Best from 2023 through 2035. - 93 Points - Wine Spectator
