Critical Acclaim

WS 92
Wine Spectator
Ripe and dense, with a loamy edge to the mix of warmed cassis and blackberry preserve flavors, while singed alder and tobacco accents fill in the background and keep the finish grounded. Best from 2023 through 2034.
WE 92
Wine Enthusiast
Potently ripe and saturated in flavor, this full-bodied and nicely grippy wine offers black cherries, dark chocolate and mint on an almost syrupy-rich texture. Firm tannins support the richness for a plush expression overall.
JS 92
James Suckling
This wine offers a basket of fresh berries, together with vanilla, chocolate and crushed stones. Full-bodied with chewy tannins and ripe, juicy fruit on the palate. Soft and mellow with a delicious, fruity finish.
