Acclaim
“Glowing crimson. Sweet and round. Big and polished – rather trad style. Sort of Napa Cab stereotype! Nothing to object to if this is what you seek, and it may even be cheaper than a Napa Cab.” – 16.5/20  — Jancis Robinson, Mar 2024
“Rich blackcurrants, crushed blackberries and a touch of herbs on the nose, following through to a medium-to full-odied palate with clean, well-defined fruit, supported by lightly firm, fine-grained tannins.” — James Suckling, Mar 2024
