- Rated 5 out of 5 starsOne for the Cellar
The 2021 Wulver is fantastic now, but I can tell it’s going to be even better with a few years of aging. The flavors of blackberry, plum, and spice are already well-balanced, and the structure is impeccable. If you’re patient enough to cellar it, you’ll be rewarded.

The 2021 Wulver manages to be both bold and elegant, which is no small feat. The fruit flavors are ripe and intense, while the tannins are smooth and well-integrated. I enjoyed it with a cheese platter, and it was a perfect pairing. Highly recommend.

This wine has layers upon layers of flavor. The 2021 Wulver starts with ripe black fruits and transitions into notes of cocoa, spice, and a hint of eucalyptus. The balance is impeccable, and the finish is long and satisfying. A must-try for red wine enthusiasts.

The 2021 Wulver exceeded my expectations. It’s bold yet approachable, with rich flavors of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and a subtle hint of vanilla. It paired wonderfully with grilled steak, but it’s just as enjoyable on its own. I’ll definitely be buying this again.
