“Black cherry, black strap molasses, and its umami savory side combine for depth of character. Spiced cinnamon cedar has an earthy zip to it, while the juiciness of the wine develops with dates and tobacco. Aged 14 months in 100% French oak.” –The Somm Journal, Editor’s Pick, January 2025

“Savory and spice-driven aromas of blackberry coulis, mushrooms, sweet spices and cedar. The palate is medium-bodied and textural, with bright acidity and fine tannins, giving flavors of dark cherries, raspberries and nutmeg. Nicely balanced. Drink or hold.” –James Suckling, January 2025

“This has broadened out, offering an enticing wave of mulled blood orange and mulberry fruit flavors infused with red tea, dried anise, menthol and savory notes. Features lingering tension on the finish, despite the mature profile. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. Drink now through 2024. 1,654 cases made. From California.”—J.M., Wine Spectator, June 2022
