Well-ripened cherry-blackberry fruit is floating in sturdy, rough tannins that make the mouthfeel rugged. Itis an honest country-style wine, but seems expensive. ——S.H.(6/1/2004)—— 85

Fully ripened fruit, from four vineyards in four counties, comes together seamlessly to to produce this flavorful red wine. It’s juicy and filled with berry flavors that taste dry, but finish sweet. This country wine is soft and a little short on finesse. ——S.H.(12/1/2002)—— 85
