Community Tasting Notes (2) Avg Score: 89.7 points

  • Dark and sweet on the nose, like raspberry jam and plum cake mixed in with an earthy-smoky note. Bright plum and raspberry fruit on the palate with velvety tannins. A ripe, soft and easy-drinking approach. The toasted coconut and creamy oak is actually integrated quite well. An unashamedly delicious wine that I cannot help buy enjoy. Tasted blind, I was convinced this was zinfandel. Oops.
