"...pale to medium ruby color and opens with notes of rose petal, dried leaves, charcuterie and pepper with roasted cranberries, red cherries and licorice. Medium-bodied with concentrated spiced fruits in the mouth, it's knit by firm, grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing long with a touch of oak influence—although this has plenty of fruit to soak that up." ~ Wine Advocate 

"...creamy, open-knit and nuanced, with lovely floral and savory notes that add nuance to a core of dark berry fruit. Sumptuous and racy, with striking aromatic top notes, the Bien Nacido is another hugely appealing wine from Fess Parker." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous
