“Just plain yummy blackberry and black-cherry aromas give this full-bodied wine an irresistible entry before perfectly ripe and generous fruit flavors take over the palate...It is a great debut for this Sierra-region winery. ...This makes two out of two stand-out wines Wine Enthusiast has reviewed from newcomer Kehret, where Steve Leveque is master winemaker.” — Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast Magazine
