CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Vinous - "Sexy, high-pitched red and dark berry and floral pastille aromas are complemented by suggestions of baking spices, vanilla and smoky minerals. Sharply focused, spice-laced raspberry, cherry and rose pastille flavors slowly deepen and become sweeter with aeration. Supple tannins add gentle grip to the long, sappy finish, which leaves notes of cherry liqueur and star anise behind. 80% new French oak."
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Medium to deep ruby-purple, it offers up red and black cherries, redcurrants, old leather, wild game, scorched earth, garrigue and lavender scents with a lightly savory/earthy undercurrent. The palate is medium to full-bodied, silky and intense but delicately styled with a pleasantly chalky frame and great freshness, finishing long and layered. This is an elegant, well-balanced and expertly made example of classically styled Tempranillo from the new world. Give this another 2-3 years in bottle."
Jeb Dunnuck - "The 2016 Tempranillo is concentrated and structured, with medium to full-bodied richness and depth as well as terrific currant and berry fruits, ground herbs, graphite, and some distinct minerality. It’s going to blossom with 2-3 years of bottle age. 93+"
