I get a little nervous when I see the word “Oak” twice on the front label of a wine, which in turn has once again proven the value of blind tasting. This gorgeous blend exhibits a seductive nose of blackberry and rich spice tones, and they translate directly to vivid palate flavors that are well integrated and finish long and lovely. Then there’s the price — wow! A Platinum Award Winner at the 2018 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
