Tasting note

This dry, full-bodied and fruity red displays a complex and intense nose. On the palate, its refreshing acidity, firm tannins, and broad texture precede a long finish.

88 pts, Wine Spectator Slightly firm, with a plum pit edge to the red currant and blackberry fruit, backed by lightly chewy grip through the finish. Lacks some flesh and depth overall and is outpaced by the rest of the appellation. A step down from the barrel tasting.
