This is a sensational effort from Lafond and it comes at a price that is simply dazzling. Showing exceptional fruit purity with exquisite structure and balance, the Lafond SRH has the chops to hang with Pinot Noir at twice the price. Fleshy aromas of raspberry and cherry fairly jump out of the glass. With a burst of oak spice on the finish, this is a beautiful package at a beautiful price. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
