Reviews and Ratings

Melanie Lloyd - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This full-bodied Californian Red is lovely and complex with earthy beet aromas, as well as blueberry, mint, violet, pot-pourri, cedar, autumn leaves, bell pepper and hints of vanilla.

The earthy quality follows through on the palate. Additionally, there are tart yet ripe blackberry flavours and cocoa at the finish. The tannins are medium and well integrated with the fresh acidity levels. A great product that won’t break the bank. A must try!
