I rarely see this producer mentioned, on the board or in the major press. When I do see notes, they are often less than positive. I have found the wines consistently good and good values.
Medium ruby color. The aromas offer fine intensity of black cherry with a light nicely green undertone and a hint of white pepper. There is a touch of alcohol on both the nose and the palate that is a little distracting (13.5%). The texture is excellent, medium light in body but mouthcoating and silky more than velvety. The finish is long and intricate, the green now has almost a tiny hint of eucalyptus, not at all expected but not out of place. Rated 93.5. This wine seems at a young maturity, I’ve got a bottle left, am thinking another couple of years, with a point of improvement likely.
