9.0

Bright, integrated and enticing nose with toasty French oak, bright red and black berry fruits all wrapped up in hints of vanilla and the faintest hint of stem inclusion. In the mouth the wine shows vanilla first, then fruit, mineral, oak and has admirable balance and length in the finish. Quite fine, and a sick value at $25. If you need some, let me know. I know a guy.
