Wine Enthusiast, 96 Points 

"Almost irresistible for its lavish spices and rich fruits, this deep and expansive wine is memorably flavorful and complex. Cinnamon, cedar, cloves and balsam complement vibrant red cherries, rich black cherries and mulled plums as a full body and moderate tannins give it significant heft in the texture." 

James Suckling, 95 Points 

"Such purity of fruit with sliced strawberries, hibiscus and orange peel. Flowers, too. It’s full to medium body with integrated fine tannins and a long finish. Clear and transparent." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"This is classic Olivet Lane, with aromas of cherries, violets and fresh strawberries along with subtle earthy notes of forest floor and mushroom. The entry is round and lush, balanced on the palate ― overall a well-structured wine supported by oak. A dusting of pretty brown spice and a hint of cream soda linger on the finish. Given some time in the bottle, this elegant and engaging wine will continue to develop for years to come."
