Acclaim
“A soft, round-textured red with strawberry and berry aromas and flavors. Medium body. Nice fruit and a creamy texture on the finish. Garnacha and syrah.”
— James Suckling, Aug 2021
“Deep ruby. Ripe red and blue fruits, baking spices and candied flowers on the highly perfumed nose. Smooth, expansive and appealingly sweet, offering cherry-vanilla and boysenberry flavors and a well-judged oak spice flourish. Closes supple and long, with polished tannins, building spiciness and a lingering blue fruit note.”
— Vinous, Feb 2021
