Score 93/100 · Drink 2024-2032, Josh Raynolds, Dec 2022
Shimmering ruby. Smoky, mineral-accented blackberry and cherry aromas are sharpened by a spicy suggestion of cracked pepper. Offers earth-tinged red and dark berry flavors and hints of salty olive and allspice. Deepens with air and finishes long and gently chewy, with building tannins and a lingering cherry note. Made with 50% whole clusters.

Score 92-94/100 · Josh Raynolds, Jul 2019
Candied cherry, blackcurrant, exotic spices and olive paste on the perfumed nose. Silky, seamless and appealingly sweet, offering spice-laced black/blue fruit, floral pastille and salty olive flavors that tighten up slowly on the back half. A smoky mineral note carries through the persistent finish, which is given shape by smooth, well-integrated tannins.
