Barn red color. Nose of rose petals and earth. Juicy red fruit and cranberry with (still) grippy tannins. Delicious! — 10 years ago

Tastes of yellow seed grass with hints of plastic. Fantastic! The flavour is beyond delectable. It just tickles my fancy like no other. It swims down your throat like a yellowfin tuna swimming downstream the St. Lawrence River. Sometimes i dream of this wine while watching the stars on my private island. — 10 years ago
