Tasting Notes
This gorgeous wine is fragrant with cinnamon, rose petal and cedar aromas, then rich in black cherries, plums and flowers with a medium body and moderate tannins. A firm texture and balancing acidity lead to good length in the finish. Drink or hold. - Jim Gordon, Jamessuckling.com; 94 points
