From this always dependable producer comes this lovely, supple wine. There are plenty of bright, ripe raspberry, black-cherry and cola flavors nuanced by smoke and spice notes from oak. If it’s not terribly complex, it more than makes up for it with the liveliness of the acids, the balance and the silky harmony.
