Tasting notes
Big and ebullient. Lots of ripe fruit and then a fairly obvious corset of oak but good price and honest stuff. (JR)

A high-toned, elegant and pure nose of wild cherry and red raspberry also evidences notes wet stone and a hint of earth, both of which are reflected by detailed and energetic flavors that are fine to the point of being delicate before culminating in a lacy and harmonious finish. A wine of finesse. *Sweet Spot, Outstanding*
Medium red. Cherry, violet, rose, minerals and a medicinal component on the aromatic nose. Very rich and perfumed, with good definition and grip to the flavors of blackberry, raspberry and flowers. This is juicy, intense and penetrating, with excellent lift for the vintage. Finishes scented and quite long, with broad, fine, nicely buffered tannins. (ST)
