There are some ripe notes here that recall candied fruit and raisin, but the wine also offers cheerful notes of cherry and wild spice. The mouthfeel is soft and supple but you definitely taste that ripe fruit at the end. ——M.L.(5/1/2010)—— 85

Red cherry is the main theme here although there are subtle shadings of white peppercorn and dried flowers within its lean, ruby-colored essence. The wine imparts a sour note on the palate and has a quick, tart finish.——M.L.(7/1/2008)—— 85
