Description
“A stylish red, with balsamico-infused acidity and fine, chalky tannins structuring an enticing range of ripe black currant, fig cake, licorice and smoke notes. There’s a toasty edge, providing subtle complexity while allowing the focused core of fruit flavors to shine. Drink now through 2037. 200 cases made, 50 cases imported. – 92 points, Wine Spectator
