Reviews and Ratings

Kaylee rated this wine as 85/100
Opens with deep and generous aromas of Black Forest cake, raspberry syrup, blueberry pie and vanilla custard. Given the deep dark richness of the nose, it's surprisingly light and tangy on the palate, which is all about red cherry, raspberry, pomegranate and red licorice. A good choice.
