96 Points James Suckling
Restrained fruitiness with aromas of raspberries and earth, alongside a complex spicy blend of freshly ground black pepper, milk, mint, bay leaf and cocoa powder. Very youthful. Full-bodied, dense and balanced, with savory flavors of chocolate and cherries, super-tasty style, tight, chalky yet ripe tannins and a fresh, cleansing acidity. Toasty finish.
 
95 Points Wine Enthusiast
Some wines don't need an invitation. Dark and dense, this brings candied violets and warm plum jam while black cherry cola adds its deep swagger. The palate stays bold and serious, letting all that juicy concentration do the talking. When power doesn't need to apologize for being powerful. 
 
Winemaker Notes
Ruby red in color, intoxicating aromas of dried black cherries, cassis, truffles, and chocolate fudge leap out of the glass. The resulting wine is silky, luscious, and complex, with a lingering finish.
