VINEOUS – APRIL 2016 – JOSH REYNOLDS

(91-93) : Deep, bright-hued red. Spicy raspberry and cherry on the nose, complicated by notes of white pepper, candied flowers and allspice. Juicy and focused, offering ripe cherry and red berry flavors that show a hint of medicinal bitterness. Turns sweeter and deeper with air and shows very good clarity on the finish, which is framed by fine-grained tannins that fold quickly into the sappy fruit.
