Lawer Family, whether under their family name, their previous Three Coins label, or their Hooker RFC label, isn’t that well known, but they certainly should be. They consistently produce solid wines across their portfolio, and they deliver serious bang for the buck, even at this price point. This is a rich, concentrated expression that shows black and red berries, fall spice, very faint dried herbs and a floral note, with soft tannic structure that makes it quite approachable near term. Well done. A Platinum Award winner at the 2016 Monterey International Wine Competition.
