round and supple
dark berries

"A mouthwatering vintage—a guaranteed treat!"

“Plenty of sour cherries here, along with black plums, blackberries, and a citrus note that adds freshness. Full-bodied with explosive dark fruit, but just the right amount of firm tannins to provide structure.” (James Suckling)

About the wine:

Plenty of sour cherries here, along with black plums, blackberries, and a citrus note that adds freshness. Full-bodied with explosive black fruit, but just the right balance of firm tannins to provide structure. Best enjoyed in 2021.
