December 31, 2020 - From 75cl, perfect cork. As previously noted. I can confirm: those cherries are black. 88P

December 21, 2020 - From 75cl, perfect cork. OK, I was too gushing with my praise for this excellent wine on 15.10.2019. But it is a delicious black cherry-fruited PN with unusual (for CA) restraint, and moderate alcohol. Drink up. 88P

October 15, 2020 - From 75cl, perfect cork. Stunningly delicious, open, gorgeous new world PN. Bright, mouthwatering, 50% black/50% morello cherry fruit on the medium-bodied entry; transluscent, pure, fresh mid-palate texture without a gram of excess sweetness, fat or muscle; moreish doesn't even begin to describe how this wine's finish invites you to lift the glass again to sniff, sip, swallow, quaff, wallow in it. A bargain at 22 GBP; a truly outstanding PN at villages level. 90P
