"(aged for a year in new and used American oak barrels) Brilliant violet color. Fragrant, oak-spiced dark berries, cherry preserves and a hint of candied flowers on the nose. Blends depth and energy smoothly, offering ripe boysenberry, cherry-cola and coconut flavors and a touch of smokiness. Closes spicy, broad and long, with smooth tannins and lingering florality. - Josh Raynolds"

"Slightly raisiny berry aromas come with accents of leather and oaky vanilla. This is a generous crianza with density and chewy depth. Similar to the nose, this tastes of borderline jammy cassis, blackberry and prune, while the finish is smooth but short due to modest acidity; drink now. - Michael SCHACHNER"
- Wine Enthusiast (July 2021),89 pts
"Ripe berries with smoky and toasted oak that follow through to a medium to full body with chewy tannins and an intense, flavorful blast at the end. A little too much oak, but it still holds together. Drink Now."

"A generous Crianza delivering the usual culprits of vanilla, wild strawberries and spice balanced on a tannic edge."
