"This juicy, medium-bodied red features plenty of minerality to the crushed red plum, dark cherry and raspberry flavors. Chocolate and spice notes mark the peppery finish."

"Lovely peach, persimmon and pear flavors glide along, with a whiff of toast on the creamy yet defined finish."

"This wine shows fresh, black fruit and dark cherry aromas and flavors, with spice notes. This concentrated, structured wine has great volume and mouthfeel, with fine length on the finish."

"Expansive bouquet of musky red and dark berries, medicinal cherry, rose oil and Asian spices. Juicy raspberry and rose pastille flavors are framed by silky tannins and given a boost by zesty minerality. Packs a solid punch but comes off almost weightless. The tannins fade into the sweet fruit on the finish, which is strikingly pure and very persistent. Lovely right now."

"A deep garnet color with just a hint of purple in the glass. With notes of black raspberries, kirsch and blueberry preserves plus whiffs of potpourri and violets, it is full-bodied and richly fruited in the mouth. It has plenty of spiced red and blackberry flavors on offer with a medium level of velvety tannins and enlivening acid to sustain the long finish."
