Not only did this make Wine Spectator's Top 100 list for 2018, but we gave it the thumbs up too! Our notes: Aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, blackberry pie, mocha and clove lead to a wine of medium plus body and concentration. Black fruits continue on the palate, along with notes of mocha, campfire, clove and bark. Soft-but-there tannins and lifting acidity provide framework for this refined and elegant red.

#82 - Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2018: "Sleek and well-defined, with expressive black cherry and savory spice flavors that finish with polished tannins."
