Reviews
James Suckling 92
A perfumed nose of wild strawberries, wild cherries, potpourri and candied orange peel. Medium-bodied, juicy and tense on the palate, with lightly chewy tannins. Shows freshness and poise.
by JS, James Suckling , 2024
Wine Spectator 90
Aromatic, this red offers floral, cherry, raspberry, earth and wild herb flavors. Elegant, balanced and fresh, firming up on the lingering finish.

A well-structured, long-lived wine with intense garnet red color.
