Score 95/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2020

Deep shimmering ruby-red. Assertive, mineral-laced red berry liqueur, spicecake and potpourri aromas are complemented by suggestions of cola and succulent herbs. Juicy, sharply focused raspberry, bitter cherry and candied lavender flavors show superb concentration and turn sweeter with air. The sappy, extremely long finish is given shape by supple, slow-building tannins that fold smoothly into the wine's vibrant red fruit. (JR)

Score 96/100 · Drink 2019-2029, Jeb Dunnuck, Oct 2019

The amount of black, blue, and red fruit from Matt Trevisan’s 2017 Sticks And Stones just about knocks you over, and it opens up with time in the glass to show beautiful ground pepper, flowery incense, and spice-laced aromas and flavors. With full-bodied richness, sweet, polished tannins, and no sensation of weight or heaviness, this beauty makes the most of the 2017 vintage and is a brilliant wine. The blend is 71% Grenache, 22% Syrah, and 7% Mourvèdre, aged in foudre, concrete tanks, and new puncheons.
