Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Enthusiast (90): This wine is rich, robust, with aromas of Red plum, Bing cherry, dried bay leaf, and orange zest on the nose. The flavors on the palate are red currant compote, dried herbs, grilled orange slices, and turmeric, gliding into bittersweet chocolate, earth, and a long silky finish. Pair with Lamb Chops.
