Big and rich, this is a round and structured wine. It has great layers of ripe herbs, full black fruits and exotic spice to go over the dry tannins. The final flavors are rich, tarry, juicy as well as powerful.

Going for structure as much as fruit, this is a cool wine with black currant flavors giving high acidity. It feels light, fresh, although there are tannins and spice to give some final weight.

Smooth and rounded wine, with dense dried fruits and plum flavors, this is an immediately attractive wine. It shows some sign of maturity, hints of meatiness and a smoky character. Drink over the next two years.

Fresh, apple-flavored wine, full of white fruits and a tangy, bright acidity. The wine is deliciously fresh, with stone fruit acidity on the finish.

Juicy, fruity wine, all red berries and freshness. The wine feels warm, just right for a hot dish on a cold day. The acidty gives some shape without losing the ripeness.

Earthy aromas lead to a wine that is closed, tight and very firm. It has tough tannins that mask the jellied red-fruit flavors, but should soften in a year, revealing a more juicy character.

Bright, ripe and fruity, this blackberry flavored wine has a juicy texture, soft tannins and a full, forward character. It’s delicious now and ready to drink.
