The Hound begins stemmy, fresh and floral with a bright, red-cherried nose. Light to medium-bodied, the wine is fresh and crushable with an open-knit and juicy expression ready for action. The wine continues with succulent acidity and food-friendly tannins that offer a soft phenolic grip over the lingering finish. - Anthony Mueller, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
