This wine has a dark red color of medium-dark intensity. The nose has red fruit up front - cherry, plum and raspberry aromas - with an assortment of herbs and spices that seem to go right along with holiday cooking. There is thyme and a hint of sage along with the smell of cinnamon. The palate brings the fruit forward with sweet oak spice and a full, but refreshing, mouthfeel. The tannins are serviceable, but not harsh. Those herbs and spices find their way back on the medium length finish. — 5 months ago

Opaque ruby. Highly expressive, smoke- and oak spice-accented cherry liqueur and blueberry aromas are complemented by building floral, vanilla and tobacco nuances. Sappy, sweet and broad in the mouth, offering densely packed black and blue fruit, spicecake and floral pastille flavors that become livelier as the wine opens up. Shows excellent clarity and dark fruit thrust on the impressively long, oak-spiced finish, which is framed by polished, even tannins. All new French oak. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, April 2021)

Darker yellow color veering into gold w/subtle greenish hues - no doubt darkened up from some bottle age. I love me some Verdejo and this did not disappoint. Initially gave off some oaky notes which was confusing. Ripe yellow citrus & orchard fruit mingled with herbs - rich leesy character… kept debating about oak treatment. I’ve had oaked Verdejo, but the mouthfeel confirmed this did not see any. Beautiful on palate, recalling nose, smooth & well-balanced, this paired beautifully w/our BAS (Big Ass Salad) of homemade smoked salmon, plenty of veggies & all kinds of briny stuff.

I pick up a lot of herbal influence along with some terrific strawberry and cherry aromas. The fruit plays large on the palate, too. There is a hint of pepper in the sip. Acidity is fresh, nearly ripping, and the finish is all about the red fruit — 3 years ago

2012 vintage. Smooth throughout with a big cherry component. Not exciting but well made. Woodsy on the nose and on the finish. May just be transitioning. — a year ago
