Score 91-93/100 · Drink 2023-2031, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Aug 2023
The 2021 Alicante Bouschet Pagani Ranch is redolent of sweet dried cherry, tobacco, dried herbs, flowers and earthy tones. There is a bit less volume than in some previous years, but the aromatics largely compensate for that. Touches of Zinfandel from Pagani and Petite Sirah from Mounts Ranch round out the blend.

Score 92/100 · Drink 2025-2035, Jeb Dunnuck, Jul 2023
Deep red with electric pink highlights, the 2021 Alicante Bouschet Pagani Ranch is aromatic with blackberry liqueur, menthol, and sweet cedar. Full-bodied and red-berried on the palate, with wild herbs and citrus pith, it has angular acidity and needs time to settle. Drink 2025-2035.
