AGELVIS Likes this wine: 95 points
May 27, 2022 - Two hour decant. Deep dark ruby color. Dark raspberry purée, blackberry, blueberry pancakes, butterscotch brittle, bay leaf-infused chocolate cake, and oregano on the complex nose. Smooth, tongue drying palate. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish. 50% CF, 24% CS, 24% Merlot, and 2% PV.
The nose is not as “sweet” as it sounds. This is a serious, complex blend. Interesting balance of fruit, baking spice, and modestly herbal notes.2 people found this helpful 1,225 views

'Bay leaf-infused chocolate cake & oregano' is the perfect description of what this wine is all about. I am going to seek some out to add to my cellar. It's absolutely in its prime right now and probably has 2-4 years left before declining.
