The fragrant, medium-high intensity nose is sweetly red fruited and sweet vanillin oak spiced, w/ aromas of lightly desiccated red cherry, rose floral, clove, cinnamon spice, vanilla, and earthy undertones adding interest. It's medium-full bodied on the palate w/ juicy, well-balanced acidity & smooth, fine-grained tannins that have some pleasant grip. It has delicious red cherry, clove, savoury wet earth, forest floor flavours in a dry flavour profile. Savoury earthy & vanillin with touches of red cherry, clove, and rose floral notes linger on the long, well-balanced finish. Tasted Apr. 2023.

Pizza and Chianti night, a match made in heaven. Nice aromas of perfume, cherry, raspberry, tobacco, and dried herbs. A complex nose for sure. Juicy red fruit, tomato, vanilla, tobacco and menthol. Easy drinking value wine.- Feb 2024
