Safras avaliadas

  • 201388 pts

    Raspberry, oak, wood spice, vanilla and herb aromas are followed by plump, jammy red-fruit flavors that provide appeal.

  • 201288 pts

    Cocoa, toast, vanilla, cigar box, coconut and raspberry aromas lead the way on this 100% varietal wine. The palate is full of dark fruit flavors with slightly gritty tannins and tart acids. Give it some time to come together.

    This is all Merlot, tight and toasty, with generous black fruits compacted into a dense core. This one needs more bottle age, and/or substantial decanting time, but it shows excellent depth and polish already.

  • 200683 pts

    Strawberry fruit is set against some pretty stiff tannins; it seems to have over-reached in color and extract, given the rather lean fruit. Leafy, herbal and a bit off-kilter.

    A pretty cherry red, this tart young wine tastes like fresh raspberries and cherries. It is compactly built, varietal and clean, with a crisply-defined finish.
