Feminine yet firm. This complex and silky elixir has earth, spice, fruit and style with a long lingering finish. Absolutely gorgeous, just like my mother, Roma Jean. –Winemaker Charles Smith
“Dense, rich, plush, and well-balanced, this already complex wine will also evolve for another 3-4 years and drink well through 2025.”
“Polished, supple and silky in texture, with a distinctive black olive note coursing through the ripe plum, currant and crushed stone flavors, mingling effectively on the persistent finish. Shows stature, depth and finesse to go with its powerful Cabernet and Syrah.”
