"Open-textured and finely wrought, this expressive red offers generous plum and currant fruit, shaded with hints of wet earth and spice as the finish lingers against fine tannins. Drink now through 2021. 850 cases made.- HS"

"Brilliant red. Assertive aromas of ripe red fruits, potpourri and five-spice powder take on an exotic incense note as the wine opens up. Juicy, penetrating and appealingly sweet, offering juicy black raspberry and cherry flavors that are enlivened by suggestions of blood orange and white pepper. A hint of vanilla appears on the long, focused and vibrant finish, which is shaped and given gentle grip by harmonious tannins. - Josh Raynolds"
