Reviews and Ratings

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This approachable Sonoma County cabernet sauvignon’s bright ruby hues revealed fresh red berries, herbal tea and cedar scents that mingled nicely with raspberry and Italian seasoning flavours. Mouth coating and medium bodied, too. Serve with sliders on a sunny patio. Enjoy.
