While in Orange a couple of months back I had this wine over dinner at Lolli Redini’s, then the next day at the winery itself. Finally I had a bottle the other weekend at home. All three times I have been very impressed.
It has a highly fragrant and floral nose with notes of blueberry, fruit spice, and lovely oak. Great to smell. There’s a beautiful generosity of fruit on the palate, not unsurprising given the 14.5% alcohol, but it shows no heat and retains plenty of freshness. There’s a nice even flow to this wine as it develops some sour cherry and earth notes through the back palate that is somehow a bit reminiscent of a Hunter Shiraz. A bit of grassiness and notes of cedar add further appeal. The wine finishes with good length and drying tannin. Works well with food or on its own. Very good wine.
