SCORES & AWARDS

93 POINTS - JAMESSUCKLING.COM

Summer fruit, cranberries, spices and dried flowers on the nose. The palate is bright and fresh, with firmly framed tannins and a luscious mouthfeel shaped by an austere undertone that keeps everything in check. Nicely weighted and balanced. Drink or hold.

-James Gordon

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Crushed boysenberry aromas are a touch seedy on the nose of this bottling. The palate is more plum driven, proving dark with fruit though softer in texture and spice.

— Matt Kettmann
