Tasting Notes

Aromatic and expressive, with raspberry, cherry and fresh herb notes that are precise on a smooth and supple frame, offering details of matcha green tea, white pepper and forest floor. A hint of fresh nutmeg lingers on the long, expressive finish, where the tannins provide a slight grip. Drink now through 2034. 5,372 cases made, 199 cases imported. Highly Recommended.

MaryAnn Worobiec, Wine Spectator, April 2019

Bright ruby in colour with a succulent, ripe nose of red cherries and wild strawberries, with a hint of spice and woody herbs. Soft, fleshy and ripe on the palate, this is rounded and approachable. Pure, redolent red fruits in tandem with wholebunch spiciness linger on the long finish.

Farr Vintners, Farr Tasting, October 2019

Such attractive, mouthwatering aromas of spicy and brambly red cherries. This is in very seductive form in 2018 with supple, smooth and gently creamy, red-cherry and raspberry flavors, delivered in a silky, elegant and smooth mode. Fresh, lithe finish. Drink now. Screw cap.
