January 5, 2018 - It’s a good wine, not great but good. Mainly Black cherries on the nose. On the palate, black and red cherries and some smoke. A little thin but nice, food friendly acidity and medium tannin.
October 28, 2017 - This is rustic with tart dried fruit, leather, and considerable tannin, but seems to have the right age to bring together, and with a very nice texture. Lovely with dinner.
September 5, 2017 - Red berry, mineral and leather nose. Dry, medium bodied with a broad texture, and a firm tannic backbone.
3.5/5
