Tasting Notes

Ross Cobb’s winemaker notes: "Aromas of orange peel, earth, flint, leather and tobacco. Flavors of cherry cola, minerals, vanilla, pepper, clove and cinnamon. Crisp acidity, firm tannins, and a long finish."

Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar. Josh Raynolds. "Deep ruby-red. Highly expressive aromas of black raspberry, smoky minerals, violet and spicecake. Sweet and silky, with explosive red and dark berry flavors supported by zesty minerality. This impressively delineated, densely packed wine finishes with outstanding clarity and floral persistence." 92 Points
