Wine SpectatorAlluring, with silky, yet persistent cherry, Damson plum and raspberry fruit flavors laced with a very perfumed red tea note. Flashes of anise and mulling spice fill in on the finish, which has a nicely polished feel. Drink now.

Wine EnthusiastSweet, warm aromas and rich, layered flavors give a good sense of indulgence to this full-bodied wine. Cherry pie, cinnamon, cloves and brown sugar give it a dessert effect, but the wine is dry and showing light tannins for a bit of grip on the finish.
