"Dark red magenta in the glass, it's dark and yet bright. The purity on the nose is impressive, with ripeness perfected and the oak balanced. There's a sweet core of fruit on the palate, chock full of dark red cherries, cassis, wet tobacco and sweet earth. 60+second finish that has nice tannic grip without being 'drying'. Impressively rich in all the right places, the wine continues to evolve with air, telling me that a two-hour decant is probably wise. Drink now and for 7-8 more years for optimum drinking." Chris at Calwine. (Dec.2014)
"Don't fear the herbs. This savory wine has a beautiful green olive and fresh herb character in small amounts, adding great complexity." Sunset magazine, October 2015 issue.
