Bookcliff Crescendo Review - 90 points

Quote from the Blog on 2/28/17 "Of the two wines I tasted, the most impressive was their blend of Syrah, Petite Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Souzao called Crescendo (2013). This is a gorgeous, soul-stirring wine. Intriguing notes of cinnamon and coriander with floral highlights mix with dark and red berry fruit to yield a nose of some complexity and depth. The palate is rich and luscious with full bodied mocha permeating the layers of dark fruit. A slightly angular edginess gives the wine lift introducing a medium length, radiant finish that brings together concentrated spice notes with fruit that persists until the end in a grand finale.  Toasted oak plays a subtle supporting role and do the softly resonating tannins. This is a very satisfying wine and quite unique with Syrah and Petite Verdot forming an unusual marriage that seems made in heaven. Large and dimensional while remaining winsome and captivating, it’s too bad Valentine’s Day is past." Quote from foodandwineaesthetics.com
