Reviews and Accolades

92 Points/Wine Spectator
Vibrant and polished, with elegantly complex cherry and red currant flavors that take on hints of toasty spices and tomato leaf as this sails toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2032.

92 Points/James Suckling
A dark-fruited, fleshy red with ripe blackberries, dark chocolate, licorice and hints of wet stones on the nose. Medium-to full-bodied with a lively pace, showing silky tannins and a smooth, lingering finish.
