Awards and Ratings:
- Wine Spectator 92 Points - Plump blackberry, cherry and toasted rye bread flavors are supported by a muscular backbone of tannins, set in a velvety texture. Black tea and licorice details lend a refined element to the long finish. Drink now through 2030. 775 cases made.
- James Suckling 92 Points - This has a clear leafy and fragrant blue fruit thread, really set in the cassis and blueberry zone, plus some fresh leafy and floral elements too. Oak is set back in this wine while chalky, savory minerals prevail as the most salient savory character. The palate has crisp, even and elegant tannins, nice and juicy, with flavors that are in the blueberry and plum spectrum, plus some redder tinges, lithe juicy and nicely pared back. Supple, fine, fleshy tannin spread. Screw cap. Drink now to seven years.
