March 2015 (Vintage 2013)

There's a real beauty to this wine. It's fresh, juicy and elegant with nice grainy structure under the sweet red and black cherry fruit. The key here is the mouthfeel: it's so rounded and elegant and pure.

MW, September 2015 (Vintage 2013)

A plush and supple red, brimming with flavors of raspberry coulis, cherry, rosemary, dried rose petal, forest floor and smoky black tea. Harmonious, focused and pure, with nice persistence on the finish, where pepper and citrus peel hints chime in. Drink now through 2023. 4,889 cases made.

August 2017

Juicy cherry and raspberry flavors are fresh and bright, with a smooth, supple body and notes of clove, cherry cola and vanilla bean. Polished and elegant, with a long finish.
