Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Enthusiast (94): This wine is rich, concentrated, with aromas of dark berries, coffee, baking spices, and potpourri on the nose. The flavors on the palate are Black currant confiture, huckleberry, coriander, tobacco leaf, and a dry finish with grippy tannins. Pair with Saint Louis Style Ribs.
