CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Wine Enthusiast - "This wine is rich garnet-hued, aromas of red plums, red raspberry, brûléed brown sugar, clove spiced oranges on the nose. The midpalate continues with flavors of red stone fruit, huckleberry, baking spices stirring in dried herbs finishing with silky vanilla cream morphing into mulled spices and grippy tannins.
