This might be the best wine that Adam LaZarre makes, and that’s saying something. No “Cabernization” issues here – just laser focused Merlot cherry and berry flavors, well-chosen barrel spice character, lively grip and a blown out finish that goes on and on. I appreciate LaZarre’s continued commitment to the variety, and I’m sure he’ll keep the hits coming! A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Monterey International Wine Competition.
