Cherries and white pepper pop on the nose. Raspberry and vanilla come through on the palate. Fruity and soft on the palate, this would pair well with duck confit flatbread. Recommended. 88 points.

The nose shows rich aromas of black fruit and spices. Boysenberry and elderberry lead on the palate, backed by graphite and milk chocolate. Fine-grained tannins and black fruit are bigger than acids, giving an opulent mouth feel. Drink with a well-seared T-bone. Highly Recommended. 93 points. DBH WHO: Murrieta's Well

Black currant and blackberry lead on the palate, with floral undertones and structured tannins. Tobacco appears on the mid-palate. Fruit takes the lead in this restrained, refined wine.
