90 Points from Vinous
Vivid red. Vibrant red berry and floral aromas are complemented by suggestions of cola, mocha and white pepper. Silky and open-knit, showing good energy and appealing sweetness to the strawberry, cherry and spicecake flavors. Lively and incisive in style. Finishes on a smoky note, featuring harmonious tannins and lingering spiciness.
 
Winemaker Notes
iPinot is reserve quality barrels of wine selected for the “Hers and His Reserves” Amalie’s Cuvée and Estate Selection. Once the final “Hers and His Reserve” wines are blended, there are a few reserve level barrels of wine to blend. Those barrels of wine are blended together to create iPinot - a reserve level wine without the reserve level price.
Desire red transcends the space and time between the glass and your palate. Evoking the senses to dark cherry, heirloom red rose, black raspberry, cola, tea leaf and hibiscus aromas, the juicy palate expression reveals an elegant and seductive expression of ripe red fruits, cinnamon and resolute, yet refined stem tannins that linger with intent.
