Here is what Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate had to say about this special wine:
“A blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec, the 2011 Olmo’s Reward is a medium-garnet colour with a hint of purple in the rim and is scented of kirsch, mulberries and raspberry preserves, plus hints of cinnamon stick, pencil shavings and bay leaf. Full-bodied and with a sold backbone of firm, grainy tannins and bright acidity, the generous, multi-layered fruit flesh goes on and on at the finish. Drink it now to 2024+.” - 93 points - Lisa Perotti-Brown, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
