"A Ruch, with passito, or dried, grapes and more interesting than many Amarone. This has bags of character. Impenetrable dark ruby. Notes of dark cherry and orange marmalade on the nose. The passito method used here has reined in Ruch,'s exotic rose-petal aroma and turned it into something much more poised, although with plenty of concentration. Think: port meets Sfurzato di Valtellina. Generous dark fruit with supple acidity and super-fine tannins. Impeccable balance. (WS)"

"A dark, brooding style yet fluid in texture, boasting black cherry, blackberry, blueberry, vanilla and tar flavors. Reveals dense tannins, despite the wine's open-knit feel. Fine intensity and length. Drink now through 2028. "
