Winery Review: This wine is a fantastic value for the price point. It's round with plenty of fruit and some interesting earth notes. It carries a little bit of structure, but is generally a soft wine with weight. Nice with or without food. I plan to keep a few bottles around for whenever I feel like an easy red. 87
My Review: A very dark ruby color with a fully body aroma. The main smells I picked up were dark fruits, blackberry, and strong pepper. It has a very bold tannic structure that fills the mouth and then melts into an incredibly smooth finish with a hint of vanilla. This wine is extremely easy to drink and the 24 months of barrel aging is very noticeable in the finish. This has been my favorite wine I've tasted so far. Definitely planning to get this again soon.
