Score: 87Vintage 2017Wine EnthusiastWoodland-berry, violet and botanical-herb aromas lift out of the glass. On the medium-bodied palate, fresh acidity accompanies unripe cherry, orange zest and clove while close-grained tannins leave an abrupt, drying close.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 87Vintage 2016Wine EnthusiastAromas of leather, camphor and underbrush follow over to the palate together with notes of salted game and dried cherry. Firm acidity and tight close-grained tannins leave an austere, rather astringent finish.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
