"Ripe cherries and strawberries with hints of chocolate nibs and spices on the nose. Dried flowers, too. Medium-bodied with tense, juicy acidity and dusty tannins. Smooth and textured. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold."

-91 Points, James Suckling

"Packed with juicy cherry and raspberry flavors, this spirited, supple red offers accents of iron and underbrush before firming up nicely on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2030."

"This modestly sized, 11-hectare estate is located in the upper slopes of eastern Castellina abutting the township of Radda. Produced since 1998, the flagship annata bottling ages partially in 500-litre French oak barrels, with the remainder in concrete. It comes progressively into focus with hints of mint and vanilla framing brambly berries. The palate boasts purity and juiciness, with a buoyant core of fleshy red cherry. A sophisticated, powdery texture holds everything in place, and there's a kick of rooibos tea on the finish."
