Exotic! Damp earth, Asian spice, cherry fruit, cedar and leaf aromas demand longer than usual nosing, and draw you in to a palate that’s silky and round, translating the nose elements into flavors and showing the zesty acidity that extends the finish and makes for an age-worthy beauty. This could be their best reserve to date. A Platinum Award winner at the 2016 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition.
