"A firm and fruity red with aromas of dark cherries, walnuts and chocolate. Some orange peel. Medium-bodied, focused and very clean. Drink or hold."

"This is saturated with blackberry, black cherry and violet candy flavors. Tightens up as this crosses the finish line, where spice accents emerge. Drink now through 2026. 1,333 cases made, 400 cases imported.—B.S."
