Fresh and fruity aromas of black raspberry, red flowers and star anise are juicy and fun on the nose of this bottling. There is ample tension to the palate, where the snappy red-fruit flavors are lifted by sage brush and fennel pollen. — Matt Kettmann
James Suckling 91
Aromas of ripe blackberries and blueberries with fresh violets, dark spices and hints of sandalwood. Medium- to full-bodied with a crunchy, berry-soaked character, freshened with vivid acidity and floral undertones. Flavorful finish. Drink or hold. - James Suckling
Food Pairing: grilled steak, barbecue, or lamb, salmon, mushroom risotto or mushroom pizza, sharp cheddar, gruyere, aged goat cheese. The wine's fruity notes also complement brie. Great with charcuterie boards.
