Tasting note

Intense and concentrated blackberry flavors rise above thick tannins in this full-bodied wine. Aromas suggest boysenberry, smoke and clove, while the flavors taste more like blackberry jam. Although the texture is dense and tannic, it stays velvety rather than drying. This will be great now with ribs or roast venison, but will easily age through 2020. Best Buy. Score - 90. (Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast, March 2016)

This classic Petite is anything but…it’s a big, bold red wine filled with aromas of ripe plums, rhubarb and a hint of black cherries. This exceptionally full-bodied wine is loaded with ripe fruit flavors of blackberry, plum and dark cherry with a hint of peppery spice.
