Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Enthusiast (95): This tempting, trim wine is alive with red-cherry, rhubarb and raspberry flavors that hold back a bit on ripeness but offer a palate-tingling vibrancy and great balance. Because of its tempting restraint yet good focus and linger finish, it keeps calling for another sip. Best from 2024. Jim Gordon
