This red starts out fleshy and round, then the vivid acidity cuts through, focusing the flavors of cherry, strawberry and rose hip. Sweet spice and black pepper notes add detail as this cruises to the long finish. Sangiovese and Merlot. Best from 2026 through 2037.

This is spiced and a little earthy with notes of ripe berries, walnuts, ground cloves and nutmeg. Medium-bodied, polished and sleek with grainy but supple tannins. Fruity, with a velvety finish. Drink now.

Fresh cherries and orange zest on the nose are contrasted with the metallic, earthy tones of fresh dirt and wild herbs. The palate adds more berries with a bit of chocolate, marked by chalky tannins.

Reviewer: Tamlyn Currin
Floral top notes and tannins so vigorous and chewy and drenched in morello-cherry juice that they've got a hold of you and are pulling you in before you've realised what's happening. Sour sapidity, cinnamon and nutmeg spices. Lively and energetic but no length or depth. (TC)
