James Suckling, October 2020 (Vintage 2016)Lovely aromas of crushed berries, cola and chocolate follow through to a medium body, integrated and refined tannins and a flavorful finish. Complex and beautiful. Consistently outstanding red. Drink now.

September 2019 (Vintage 2016)Ripe cherry and red plum flavors mingle with leafy, loamy earth and vanilla notes in this harmonious red. The dense texture is supported by well-integrated tannins and citrusy acidity keeps this lively. Drink now through 2028.
