about RegionTASTING NOTES
—
Corinne Mui
Vibrant lavender, pepper, and leaves. Elegant, with grainy tannins. Well-shaped, with a long finish.
—
Konstantin Baum MW
Ripe blackberry, with smokey notes and paprika spice. Grippy tannins, with moderate acidity. Grainy, slightly harsh tannins.
—
Christy Canterbury MW
Ripe and oak-driven on the nose, this smells of cocoa powder and smashed black cherries. An intense attack with a weighty mid-palate, hemmed in by long, tugging tannins and perky, supporting acidity. Somewhat mealy on the palate feel, overall. The minerally finish is lifted and distinguished.
—
Janet Wang
Wild strawberries, violets, and cherries. Soft and enveloping mouthfeel, with coating and ripe tannins. Elegant and long.
