James Suckling, 95 Points 

"So much cracked black pepper to this, with plums and brambleberries throughout. It’s medium-bodied with a solid center palate and medium fine tannins that run the length of the wine. Tangy and bright acidity, too. Drink or hold. Screw cap." 

Winemaker Notes: 

“Clove and spiced blood orange basted in the elaborate flavors rustic bouillon. There is an ebb and flow of white sage, peppercorn and bay leaf, but ultimately this potion is awash with lashings of freshly picked fingerstaining dewberry, raspberry coulis, black forest cherries and suede. (yes….suede!!)”
