Verbiage“There’s good concentration to this medium- to full-bodied red, which shows stylish flashes of mocha and spice without going over the top, as well as pure notes of boysenberry coulis, black licorice and smoke. Balanced, with a lingering finish of herb and sweet spice. Drink now through 2023. 5,000 cases made.” — A.N., Wine Spectator Oct. 31, 2017 |
