Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 96
A lighter hue in the glass, this bottling is fresh while candied on the nose, offering aromas of raspberry and strawberry alongside potpourri and subtle herbs. The palate's array of flavors is impressive, showing tart strawberry, sansho pepper and wild thyme elements.
