Review:
Notes of cherries, plums, and raspberries play among undertones of spice and herbs on the nose. The palate showcases flavors of cherry, plum, and blackberry that move into accents of pepper, anise, and wild herbs. Nice fruit and structure, along with a savory pop, make this a wine worth checking out.

The nose is a comb of spicy, fruity, and earthy elements. Cocoa tannins frame flavors of blackberry, cherry, pepper, and forest floor. Offering a good balance of fruit, spice, and earth, it's a ideal wine to open when serving a robustly flavored lamb dish.

Review:
A mix of dried cherries, dried currants, earth, and anise come together on the nose. Flavors of dried black cherry and bramble berry emerge on the palate, alongside elements of dusty earth. Plush but very dry, it drinks very cleanly. Fans of classic Bordeaux should check this out.

A combination of apples, pears, and white flowers rises up from a glass. On the palate, flavors of golden apple, white peach, and Asian pear meld with nuances of minerals and honeysuckle. A good body and balanced acidity make this a very approachable wine.
