This blend was created as a study in harmony. This wine’s initial scents of ripe red berries and plums hint at the palate’s potential richness. And yet the wine isn’t so much rich as mouth-filling. A saturating and juicy presence that mimics richness, this bursts with exuberant fruit on the finish, then quietly recedes. This wine feels in every sense complete - calm and placid, with a succulence gently occupying every corner of the mouth.

94 pts - Vinous:“Glistening ruby. Expansive, spice- and mineral-accented cherry, mulberry and potpourri scents pick up a hint of smokiness as the wine opens up. Sappy, well-concentrated red and blue fruit and lavender pastille flavors show surprising vivacity for their heft. Smooth, polished tannins emerge slowly on a very long, penetrating finish that emphatically repeats the floral and mineral notes.”
93 pts - Wine Spectator:“A refined and handsome wine, offering brooding raspberry and blueberry flavors that are laced with black tea and dusky spice and build tension toward fine-grained tannins.”
91 pts - Wine Enthusiast:“This is a palate-pleasing wine with optimal fruit ripeness and good balance throughout. Raspberry, blueberry, marionberry and plum are in the mix, with some toast and chocolate highlights from aging in 40% new French oak. The natural acidity keeps it focused, and the finishing tannins resonate with a streak of breakfast tea.”
