I love the licorice and herbal aromas here, alongside chocolate cherries and plums. Hints of vanilla and praline, too. It’s creamy, lightly chewy and full-bodied, with berry-soaked tannins and a long and deliciously mellow finish. Pulls you back for more. Drink or hold.

Fine and creamy, this elegant red offers a burst of crushed raspberry and strawberry fruit, plus accents of lavender, incense, tea rose and thyme. Juicy and fresh, with supple, fine-grained tannins emerging on the minerally, tar- and saline-laced finish. Drink now through 2034. 7,500 cases made, 41 cases imported.
