Wine reviews

October 2012

Delightfully rich and polished, with a tight focus on red currant and blackberry flavors, with light toasty, cedary oak. Notable for its caressing tannins. Best from 2014 through 2028. 243 cases made. –JL

This wine will divide aficionados. Some will find it too soft and fruity. Others will marvel at its sheer deliciousness. It’s fantastically rich, a wine of deliriously decadent flavors, ranging from blackberry jam and crème de cassis to mocha, blueberry extract and buttered cinnamon toast. Yes, it’s soft, but it’s the softness of fine velvet. After all that richness, the finish is amazingly dry. Drink over the next few years to enjoy its youthful beauty. - SH
