Wine Reviews

Boasts black cherry, plum, blackberry and thyme flavors wrapped in toasty oak, making this red distinctive and modern. Though polished, there are also dusty tannins and vivid acidity lending support. Fine balance and length. Best from 2023 through 2037.

Lots of sweet berries, cherries and vanilla, yet it’s attractive and enticing. Medium-bodied with lovely fruit through the finish. Very fruity, but in-check. Give it a little time to come together in the bottle. Try after 2022.

This has intense spice and and floral character, with violets, bell peppers, morello cherries, cloves and tomato leaves on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with sleek tannins. Dense and compact palate. Some walnut notes at the end. Try after 2023.

Sweet berries, walnuts, mahogany and sweet tobacco on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Tangy acidity.

Lemons, apricots, peach pits and pie crust on the nose. White tea, too. Medium-bodied with a creamy, smooth palate. Clean and bright.
