Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points 

"Focused aromas of dark cherry, cola and star anise are fruity while warming on the nose. There's an edgy grip to the sip, where cherry compote, orange rind, pomegranate and cinnamon flavors align." 

Vinous, 92 Points 

"Bright red.  Spice-accented raspberry and cherry on the nose, along with hints of woodsmoke, cola and baking spices.  Silky and energetic on the palate, offering juicy red berry and floral pastille flavors that deepen and spread out as the wine opens up.  Gentle, rounded tannins lend shape to a long, floral-driven finish that shows excellent clarity and building spiciness.  All of this fruit comes from the Stone Corral vineyard." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Brilliant ruby red color. Aromas of cherry, dried rose petals with notes of nutmeg from the French oak barrel. Bright mouth, fine tannins, lively acidity and flavors of small red berries, Earl Grey tea, anise and forest floor." 

Alcohol: 13.5%
