Reviews & Awards 🌟

95 Points – Wine Companion – Erin Larkin
“Old-vine estate fruit, hand picked over 2 days.12 days on skins, pressed directly to a combination of American and French hogsheads (33% new), matured for 18 months. Highly aromatic forest fruits, blood plum and star anise. The palate is medium bodied, fleshy and supple, with fine tannins and great length. Not strictly classical in style, but not exactly modern, either. A lovely wine”
