This wine was co-Wine of the Year at the Critics Challenge competition back in May, and it’s still a shining star that promises to be so well into the future. It’s quite expressive now, with forward cherry, perfectly toasted oak notes, sage and soft dried herbs all present from start to finish, lingering well into the distance. It is fairly priced for the region, and a fine cellar trophy. Bravo! A Platinum Award winner at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
