Score 93/100 · Drink 2024-2034, Josh Raynolds, Dec 2022

Deep violet color. Displays aromas of ripe dark fruits, pungent flowers, cracked pepper and woodsmoke, with a hint of smokiness in the background. Juicy and expansive in the mouth, offering appealingly sweet blackberry and cherry-cola flavors and building spice and smoked meat nuances. Closes very long and smooth, with sneaky tannins adding shape to a repeating dark berry note.

Score 91/100 · Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider, Oct 2022

Flowers, a touch of espresso, smoke, black cherries, and licorice on the nose. Aged in 30% new, French oak, which still needs to better integrate to allow you to better enjoy the medium-bodied wine with all of its soft, silky, red fruits, refined tannins, and freshness. Drink from 2024-2034.

Score 91-93/100 · Josh Raynolds, May 2020

Vibrant aromas of fresh black/blue fruits and candied flowers are accompanied by suggestions of allspice, licorice and smoky minerals. Juicy and precise on the palate, showing firm cut to the appealingly sweet blueberry, cherry, violet pastille and spicecake flavors. Finishes seamless and long, with sneaky tannins adding shape and gentle grip. One-third new barriques.
