Crimson creek has long been my absolute favorite wine. I enjoyed the crimson shadow but I didn’t love it. And I enjoy the pilot fog. But this wine is absolutely fantastic!!! It might even rep,ace crimson creek as my favorite! I highly recommend you give it a try…you definitely won’t be disappointed! I just hope they make more!
