The flagship red wine of Simonsig, this Bordeaux-style red blend exhibits a dark maroon core with a bright red rim. Aromas include blackcurrant, dark cherry, and lead pencil, with a floral note. On the palate, a concentrated core of dark fruit is finished off with fine layers of cocoa, sea breeze and a savory hint. The tannins are smooth and silky, with well-integrated oak.

Wine Spectator (92 Points):
"Elegant, offering enticing aromas of shiso leaf and woodsy spice that are delicate and well-meshed, with
flavors of ripe black and red currant, espresso, iron and singed citrus peel. Sleek and harmonious, with sculpted tannins providing fine form and a lightly chewy texture on the lingering finish...Drink now through 2032."

James Suckling (90 Points):
"Blackberries, currants, peppercorns, tobacco leaves, graphite and bark on the nose. Some five spice, too.
Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Tight and mineral…Sustainable. Vegan. Drink or hold.“

Wine Enthusiast (90 Points):
"Cinnamon and earthy aromas followed by black fruit shape the nose. This red has a mineral texture and flavors of vanilla and blackberry. It's full-bodied and finishes with wood spice in the aftertaste."
