"Brilliant violet color. High-pitched black raspberry, floral and baking spice aromas, with a subtle smoky quality. Lively and focused on the palate, offering appealingly sweet red/dark berry flavors that pick up a touch of cola with air. Closes gently sweet and long, with even tannins and nervy mineral cut. (fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for four months in new and used French oak barrels)"

"A big and ripe red with earthy, dry tannins and crisp acidity. Full, dry finish that’s not subtle, but not aggressive either. Drink now or hold."

"A youthful red with stacks of supple tannins that needs a bit more time for the fruit aromas to fully unfurl. Neither too dry nor with any trace of overripeness to upset the balance. Nice freshness on the clean finish. Better from 2019 and should be good through at least 2024."

"Lurid violet color. Bright and energetic on the nose, displaying ripe red/blue fruit and floral scents and a hint of peppery spices. Juicy and seamless in texture, offering sweet raspberry and boysenberry flavors and a touch of earth licorice. Finishes smooth and supple with repeating blue fruit character and just a hint of fine-grained tannins on the clinging finish."
