CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Enthusiast - "The earthy, metallic nose features aromas of soil, lead, herbs and black cherry. On the palate, notes of blackberry and black plum join the black-cherry element, with black olives and bitter orange for more sanguine earthiness, before a salty, minty finish. Acid blazes past streamlined tannins. "
