  • Respected local bottle shop VinoCruz said “This complex blend offers aromatic ripe berries and spices married with light cedar notes.  A well-rounded palate of black cherry and cigar box leads to lingering toasted oak on the finish. Plum, chocolate and dark fruit with a hint of herbs. Savor the full fruit with hints of ripe boysenberry. The finish is beautifully balanced with velvety tannins.
