Critics Ratings
“Limpid ruby. Spice- and smoke-accented red and dark berries, coconut, candied rose and a hint of cigar box on the fragrant nose. Bright and seamless on the palate, offering concentrated black raspberry, bitter cherry, spicecake and mocha flavors braced by a core of juicy acidity. Displays impressive finishing clarity, well-integrated tannins and lingering floral and spice notes.” - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 92/100 (Apr 2021)
