Reviews
Wine Enthusiast 91
From one of the properties owned by the Milhade family, this wine is dominated by dark Merlot and rich tannins. It is dry, with some bitterness from extraction, while also having plenty of juicy blackberry fruits to balance.

A clean, creamy-textured red with currant and plum character. Wet-earth undertones. Medium body. Juicy finish. Drink or hold.
