Very lush and inviting on the nose, this top-shelf bottling by Frederick Delivert begins with aromas of softly poached Bing cherries, dark strawberry cream, hints of slate and well integrated oak. The palate is wrapped in perfectly chiseled tannins and crisp fresh acidity, offering lush red-fruit and baking-spice flavors.

- Matt Kettmann: Very lush and inviting on the nose, this top-shelf bottling by Frederick Delivert begins with aromas of softly poached Bing cherries, dark strawberry cream, hints of slate and well integrated oak. The palate is wrapped in perfectly chiseled tannins and crisp fresh acidity, offering lush red-fruit and baking-spice flavors.
- James Suckling: This has aromas of crushed red berries, lemon zest and dried earth. Hint of walnut husk. It’s medium-bodied with soft, elegant tannins. Wonderfully fresh and juicy with some earthy undertones.
