"A primarily sweet nose of strawberries, raspberries, pomegranates and guava draws balance from a dusting of wild herbs. On the palate, the herbaceousness grows and turns the fruitiness slightly bitter, as strawberry fruit leather and bitter orange stand their ground against imposing tannins, acid and spice. — Danielle Callegari"

"A mix of plum, cherry, earth flavors and a saline component mark this fleshy, sapid red. It has intensity and is mellowing, with fine balance and a long finish. Drink now through 2026. 2,500 cases made, 900 cases imported.‡B.S."
